found mixed chemicals at store containing toluene,acetone,m.e.k. isopropanol,methanol,2-butoxyethanol,mixed xylenes and was wondering if it would be any good to clean pseudo

Sounds like a very general purpose solvent.

Which means... it ain't any use.

Because of the mix of polar and non-polar solvents within the mixture, both the stuff you want and the stuff you don't would all go into solution...

However, it probably rocks for getting black marks off lino...

Those stripping compounds aren't really any use with pseudo, like already stated. Some pseudo would be dissolved, and some would get cleaned. The decanted fluid would have to be saved and evapped, and further cleaned to keep the yields up.

SWIL would suggest using such strippers for cleaning MBRP. As long as it isn't a paste like fluid.
