A friend had a gallon of "Odorless Mineral Spirits," that wasn't needed and they gave it to me.
Mineral spirits, or paint thinner, cleans metal parts nicely, but is normally fairly stinky.
But odorless? Sounds like an outlandish claim to me.
I gave it a try, and sure enough it was almost completely odorless. I was kind of shocked! :eek:

I normally use isoprpyl alcohol, acetone, or denatured alcohol, for cleaning, in addition to my standard "409" spray cleaner and hot water and a brush. The odorless paint thinner is a nice addition to my cleaning choices. It cleans the parts well without stripping it all the way down to bare metal that might get some rust or corrosion. I now use it a lot.
