VM&P Naphtha, Quart

Product Description

This fast drying solvent replaces paint thinners to accelerate drying time of oil-based paints, enamel and varnish. It is also excellent as a thinner for rubber cement, adhesives and oil-based coatings, and for cleaning brushes and spray equipment. Often used as a lubricant for rubbing out hardened shellac finishes, and will improve an older shellac coating with a simple rub-down. Do not use to thin lacquers, shellac or latex paints. Flammable. Quart.

5.0 out of 5 stars Naphtha is a great spot remover, August 28, 2010

This review is from: VM&P Naphtha, Quart (Misc.)

Apparently many state governments have outlawed the use of naphtha for household use because it is a volatile organic compound (VOC) and can supposedly affect air quality. Of course, the idea that people cleaning spots has any affect on air quality is ridiculous, but this is what happens when government gets too much power. California even sued Reckitt Benckiser, Inc, the maker of Energine Spot Remover and received a settlement in 2004.

The good news is that there are alternatives. You can still buy naphtha for use as a paint thinner. I assume it will work the same as Energine.
[...]

You can also buy Folex, which gets very good reviews as a spot remover.

Both are available at Amazon or at hardware stores like Lowes.
