...to this question.


Long story short: tried to remove some oil stain I slopped on the
window pane using mineral spirits on a rag and got most of it off but
kinda smeared it a bit and I was wondering what might take the rest of
it off.


Is there any other way than a razor blade? It'll work (I used it on
some drips) but it will take a while (a lotta drips on six 4' x 8'
windows starting 10 feet off the floor. Lotta time on the ladder with
a bad back and a dislike of heights.


Any other suggestions? Gotta have this done by Sunday night.

A neighbor had a similar problem with his 2nd story windows... he used one of
those "swifter" mops with acetone and a long handle..


Keeping solvents at a distance is generally a good idea, but I'm not
sure that overhead is the direction I'd want them to go.
