   A little rag soaked in vodka helps remove the annoying icing-up that   
   occurs on the inside of a car windshield.   
      
   But I use lighter fluid to remove the oil-based sticky labels from   
   books.  Dries up very nice, and no stains.

   I don't even think we can even get any 99% iso alcohol here! (Canada).   
   The highest I've seen is 70%.  I'll have to try it for removing labels!   
      
   I have a very wimpy-strength 2% solution in the cupboard.  Very handy   
   when I need to disinfect a sore or cut.
