'Mr Woods rushed over and took away the fluid before the vapours got to the script, saying: "Bleach it out nicely that would."'

Looks like a dramatization to spice up the storyto me. From the way they describe it, it looks like the worker was actually cleaning up the case and Mr. Woods stopped him before he oversprayed or allowed vapors to spread to the document.

But yes, good save!

Mmmmhhh Clean the case yesssss. But with chemicals harsh I say not.
