Q:  What/why is that "carbon-tet" the "operational scent" in Katje's closet

re what:

Carbon tetrachloride is a clear, colorless, nonflammable liquid
 which is heavier than water.  It is used as a fire extinguisher, a
 solvent, a starting material to make many organic compounds, as an
 insecticide, and for cleaning clothes.

(sounds like nasty stuff:  http://mail.odsnet.com/TRIFacts/157.html )

 - Doug - moth balls smell of napthalene don't they?
