The fix for glue head: ethoxylated alcohol?
#1
Please copy and paste and spread the word to all forums with people dealing with glue head (I don't have a MH arena or MLP arena login).
I'd hate to see people throw away their gunk headed collection when it can be saved.

Tiffy from dollsonmain.tumblr.com found that soaking and squeezing heads in LA's Totally awesome works well at cleaning the glue from gunked up hair and, within about a week's soaking, the heads.

I researched the ingredients as Totally Awesome is USA only and did my own tests, it would seem that ETHOXYLATED ALCOHOL is the ingredient required to neutralize the glue. It's also known as primary alcohol ethoxylate or "Alcohols, Cnumber to number, Ethoxylated."

You can find out which products contain this chemical in Europe by looking at the bottles of degreasers and multipurpose cleaners such as floor cleaner. It will be listed further down the bottle with "non ionic surfactant" on the top of ingredients lists.
In Canada and Australia, they are not obligated to list in the ingredients on the bottle but you can find ingredient lists on the manufacturers websites or by searching for "name of product chemical composition" will bring up a pdf or doc file with ingredients and fire hazards.
