John, be very very careful if you use white gas for cleaning cloth or you and the cloth could wind up toasty. Obviously its very flammable and when used in open containers or pans the fumes can travel to an ignition source that you aren't aware of. I had a friend whose house went up in flames when he did some "cleaning" with this stuff, fortunately no one was hurt but he lost the house and everything in it. Be safe!
Cheers,
Bob
