Surprised you don't see eucalyptus oil in CA!
The reason we suggested it is because it is effective, but much less
aggressive on plastics than some petroleum-based cleaners.
I'm relaying Rosemary's advice here. She has tried almost everything over
the years in restoring / cleaning old sewing machines, cameras, furniture
etc, and that is what she has found.
Eucalyptus oil is a volatilized vegetable matter product. Another
suggestion on similar lines is vegetable turpentine (aka wood turps or
rectified turps) obtainable at art supply shops.
Eucalyptus oil might be found at a health food or aromatic oils shop.
One way to test any of these things is to try to emulate the problem by
taking a container with a pressure sensitive label
and putting it through a dishwasher. This will often leave a sticky mess
of baked on glue which is ideal for testing any suggested remedy.
