Sounds like they soak the print in a NaOH solution. I imagine if the material is porous enough to evaporate acetone, it's also porous enough to absorb a NaOH solution.

Just in case someone else gets bogged down in chemistry, NaOH is better known as lye or caustic soda.

They called it Sodium Hydroxide in the article as well. :)
