Then I began to rub … and rub … and rub … and scrub. So … I went and got an old toothbrush that sits by my polymer sink. I let it sit in the rubbing alcohol for about 30 seconds and then began to scrub … and scrub … and scrub. So after 35 minutes of using a cloth, then a toothbrush, then a cloth, and then a toothbrush, this is what I ended up with.
