When you say "alcohol", do you mean ethyl alcohol or isopropyl alcohol?


Ethyl. But I will try isopropyl. I didn't think it mattered which type.


Before you try harsher chemicals, make a paste with baking soda and a
high concentration (70%-90%) isopropyl/rubbing alcohol and scrub the
plastic with this paste.
