Talcum powder made for lovely white binoculars, a rather cool look. </div><div style="direction: inherit;"> I didn't try every suggestion. The reason I didn’t test every recommendation was that I found something early on in the process that worked. Lemon essential oil did the trick and the binoculars smell terrific.</div><div style="direction: inherit;"> Thanks again for being such good folks.</div><div style="direction: inherit;"><br></div><div style="direction: inherit;">Al Batt</div><div style="direction: inherit;">Your Hartland correspondent</div><div style="direction: inherit;"><br></div></div></div><div><br><br><div style="direction: inherit;"><br></div></div></body></html>
