Cleaning Immersion Oil

1.3
(1) Wipe with petroleum benzine.
(2) Finish off the cleaning with absolute alcohol (ethyl or methyl alcohol) after cleaning with petroleum benzene.
If petroleum benzene is unavailable, use methyl alcohol alone. However, typically wipe three or four times
because the detergency is weak.
