Default odorless screen wash?

Hi all, does anyone have any leads on an odorless or near-odorless screen wash (to wash the ink from the screen)? I'm currently using citrapaste and it works great but the smell is extremely strong and it sticks around forever.

Thanks!

Citrapaste to clean the ink from the screen? Assuming you mean citristrip, that may be overkill...

I use Lawson ID-360 ink degradent/screen wash, and it has a pretty strong citrus smell, but works better and is cheaper than using stripper every time.

citra paste is just a standard eco-friendly ink degradent, less harsh than most chemical-based washes out there.

I just can't stand the smell all day long.

Someone else might be able to chime in on the soybean based stuff, Ive heard a lot about the Bean-e-doo or whatever, no idea what it smells like though.

Thanks I'll look into that.

Anyone else have any ideas?

Yeah, try Franmar products. They tend to smell a lot nicer.
