Whilst this scope and cables is 'better' after the washing, because

Well probes are not exactly expensive...

No, sure, but I'd rather not replace them if I don't have to, given
they are nearly new (as in usage). I think they are quite good, X1/X10
switch and with a matching capacitor thing in the plug.

As for the USB Scope, perhaps give it a gentle spray or wipe over
with a fabric refresher?

As mentioned, the (ally) sleeve case has been washed in hot water and
I think that be is pretty good now (I'm guessing it's down to the
permeability of the smell molecules that impact how persistent /
resistant to cleaning it stuff is).

It's one of these OOI:

reasonable success but on fabrics not hard surfaces.

Yeah, I've used that on fabrics (and the room air fresheners) in the
past ...

She's not a
great fan of artifical scents

Nor am I, even requesting the Mrs put on any perfume as she goes out
the front door, not in the bedroom etc. ;-)

so I suspect you can get these
refreshers "sans parfum" or at least with something overpowering.

Pre lockdown we visited daughter and she had a couple of those oil
stick things in the lounge. I had to put a bag and electric band over
them as they were making me cough and my eyes sting. Same with a
particular brand of hand cream the Mrs would sometimes apply and I
could tell she had done it as soon as I walked in the room. ;-(

I smelled 'burning' in the house the other day and even went outside
and sensed it a bit stronger. 10 mins later I saw a fire engine go
past.

I should have some white vinegar and baking soda on the way as they do
seem to be regularly used (in various ways) so they may have some
special properties.
