Chrome polish (used for cars) works too.
Emmah, The Goop is actually working. The stuff coming off is gross. Sorry to any smokers who read this. DH does have a point that it is going back to a smoking household but I hope to use the sewing machine this week to test drive it for her and want a clean machine even though I'm just using scraps . ~ Chris
I know how awful smoking residue is. I bought some vintage quilts and had to wash them five or six times till the yellow came out. I grew up with a smoking parent, but after spending a childhood with a stuffy nose and coughing, decided it wasn't for me--besides. I have lots of other more fun things to spend my money on!
