HOW TO REMOVE STAINS.
There are few stains which can
not be removed, if treated prompt
ly; but if they are allowed to go
through the process of washing,
they may be indelibly “set” by
the action of hot or cold water.
The following methods will be
found useful in the removal of
stains:
BLOOD.—Soak ill cold water and
ammonia; wasli in warm water
with naphtha soap.
CHOCOLATE AND COCOA.—Soak
in cold water; wash in hoi water.
COFFEE—Spread the goods
over a basin, and from a hei :ht
pour very hot water on the stain
ed places.
EGGS. —Soak in cold water; after
ward wash in the usual way.
FRUIT. —Boiling water, as for
coffee stains.
GLUE.—Apply vinegar with a
cloth until the stain is removed.
GRASS.— Wash in alcohol or in
ammonia and water; if the colors
are not delicate, use a paste made
of soap and cooking soda.
GREASE.—Wash in warm water
and soap, spirits of turpentine,
gasoline or ether.
INK. —If the stain is fresh, soak
the part in milk, and change the
milk frequuently. If the stain is
dry, wet it first, then oxalic
acid on it, rub, and rinse in several
waters; or w t the cloth in a
saturated solution of permanga
nate of potash until it is dyed a
dark brown. Remove ths per
manganate with oxalic acid, and
rinse in several waters. This
method can be used only on white
fabrics. If it is carelessly used, or
if the rinsing is not thorough, the
oxalic acid will destroy the fabric.
INDELIBLE INK —Soak in strong
ammonia; rinse in several waters.
IODINSoak in alcohol, ether
or chloroform.
IODID OF POTASSIUM.— Soak in
strong ammonia; rinse throughly.
Iron-Rust.— Apply salt and
lemon juice, then hydrochloric
acid. Spread the stained portion
over a bowl containing one quart
of water and one teaspoonful of
borax; apply the acid drop by
drop, until the stain becomes
bright, then dip it in water. Con
tinue until the stain disappears.
Care should be taken to use borax
in the rinsing water.
KEROSENE.— Cover the stain
with a thick layer of fuller’s earth:
let it remain twenty-four hours,
then brush it off.
MILDEW. —Lemon-juice and sun
shine.
Milk. —Cold water.
MACHINE OIL. —Benzin, naphtha
or turpentine; but cold water will
often remove machine oil.
PAINT —If fresh, use bezin. If
the stain is old, rub vaselin into it,
and wash it with benzin.
SCORCHED PLACE—Lay in the
strong sunlight.
