White Spirits is simply dry cleaning fluid (sometimes called Murlex). Murlex can be purchased in Australia at any pharmacy. If the pharmacy does not stock the product, the pharmacist can order it from the Sigma or API pharmacy wholesaler. It can also be purchased from Bunnings hardware stores. If they do not stock the product, it can be ordered from the Sales Force Wholesaler.
