Absorene Book and Document Cleaner

My husband uses Absorene Book and Document Cleaner on his comic books, and he absolutely loves it. It works wonders on cleaning the pages, restoring them without damaging them. It’s just as effective on his collectible books, making it a fantastic tool for anyone looking to preserve their paper treasures.

Works like a mixture of Play Doh and a big pink eraser. When my friend's house burned down, we saved the bulk of her soot-smeared music library with this stuff. You just lightly wipe in one direction and the soot residue lifts off the paper surface and sticks to the surface of the Absorene, like chalk sticks to a felt eraser. You then knead the residue into the Absorene and keep using it. I used a golf ball-sized wad of it until it turned the color of a new charcoal briquette. It continued to clean, but began to dry out and crumble a lot. The crumbles will stick to the paper, so I would then toss it and get a fresh lump. A little goes a long way. I probably cleaned two thousand pages of music with one tub of Absorene. It will not remove water/soot stains that are dried into the paper. It only removes the powdery residues on the surface of the paper, but it does a very good job of that. Good stuff.

I use this product for dry cleaning comic books. The product miraculously picks up all kinds of dirt and debris without disturbing colors.

I'm finding no difference between things before and after I'm "cleaning" with this product. I've watched videos on how to use it, and for all intents and purposes, I am using to currectly. Frankly see no "cleaning" of books or documents with this product. I'm getting a lot of "lint" from the Absorbene but no noticeable differences.

Fast service, Great item. Exactly as ordered

Are use this product and document restoration to remove stains. For that purpose, it works very well. Disappointing Lee, I have ordered this in less than three times, and every single time the container arrives with the lid sprung and a good portion of the product is dried out and unusable, once you remove that product and discard it then you get to the native product and it works very well. I can’t give high marks at all for shipping.

I love books, and frequently buy used. This has taken off some weird stains and finger marks. It also cleaned up some paper,( non vinyl) wallpaper from the 1960s that I'm fond of and not quite ready to replace. Nice thing to know about!

Rememberaing helping Mom and Dad clean wallpaper in the 1940's, I thought of this product when I was trying to revive the color and pattern of the interior of an old humpback trunk I wanted to restore. I had used a gum eraser with some success, but to do the entire interior of a trunk with a small eraser was not going to work. I could not find wallpaper cleaner as I had known it at any of our largest local hardware stores.While this produict looked and felt like the wallpaper cleaner of old, it was not up to the task I had in mind. The gum eraser did better. The Absorene was getting black with removed dirt, but the paper simply did not look that different. Perhaps there is just too much impregnated dirt from over 100 years accumulation and perhaps the gum eraser was actually rubbing away a small layer of the paper. I will have to cover the old paper with new in order to restore the trunk.
