Brian,

I'm too chicken to hose down the SP-600. I've dealt with
too many radios that had open IF transformers due to corrosion.
I don't want to wash the mouse **** into those IF cans!
I'll do it the hard way. No pain no gain!

Sounds like a candiate for the dishwasher treatment. Believe it or not,
several of our members report running really cruddy radios through the
dishwasher with good results. You might do a Google Groups search to
find the relevant details re sealing up transformers, etc.

It may not fit in a dishwasher. I spray em down with Simple Green and let
sit for 1/2hr then rinse. Never had a problem. The military does it, did you
know that?

When did they change to Simple Green from duPont 409? We bought it by
the palletload.

The shortest possible instant of time, far shorter than the
so-called "Planck time", is the interval between hitting a key
and realizing that one should *NOT* have hit _that_ key.

I'm sure your right. I was just refering to the washing. I just think SG is
good smelling and does a great job and is biodegradable. I think you can
dribk the stuff and it wont kill ya? Don't hold me to it though!

Brought it home and cleaned out the rats nests
and left in the garage. Summer hit and the rat **** that had soaked
into the wood stunk BIG time. Used javex to try to disinfect but no
match for the smell.

Ammonia (Javex) on urine is much like gasoline on fire. The urine smell has
a big ammonia component. You need one of ammonia's enemies, such as chlorine
or hydrogen peroxide.

True- I should have said this MUST be done outside or under a fume hood. The
peroxide is less noxious but it must be the 30% pool shock/ water treatment
grade. Fabreze or proprietary enzyme treatments for urine work on milder
cases if the wood is repeatedly saturated and allowed to dry.

In article , says...


There is a product called X-O .... like for X it Out if you will..
janitor supply places have it... this stuff you just spritz it onto
chassis and wood and anyplace else that has mouse pee on it and the stuff
neutralizes the smell completely...

I found that out - if you do a google search on groups with this string
"disinfect a cabinet javex" you'll find the thread I based this usage on.

To get rid of most odors, especially cat urine, combine an 8 oz. bottle of
Hydrogen Peroxide with a level teaspoon of Baking Soda, add a drop of any
handsoap, pour on the affected area, rug, wood, concrete. Let it dry, a
couple of applications may be needed. I've had more success with this than
ANY store bought stuff.
