Try rubbing alcohol or Everclear on a paper towel. Dont soak the spot as you can damage the cedar.

Interesting. I've had manufacturers recommend it for stains and lots of mold growth.

I've done it with fantastic results numerous times but I have also worked in a wood shop with no mask too.

Although I have read different accounts, I do not think the dust is actually toxic. But it is more of an irritant than something like pine or oak.
