GRASS: Sponge gently with methy-
lated spirit. Kerosene will also remove
grass stains.
ICR CREAMS: Sponge with tepid
water. Let fabric dry. Apply carbon-
tetrachloride. If ice cream lias a fruit
juice base this part of llie stain will
have to be treated as for fruit
INK (writing: If ink is spilt on
a carpet, at once moo up surplus liquid
with blotting paper or cloth. Cover
stain with baking soda. .Moisten slightly
with water. Leave for a time after
rubbing the Soda gently into stain.
Brush up soda Treat any stain still

can be sprinkled with oxalic acid crystals
and boiling water then poured through
the stains. Then rinse well and launder
as usual. On colored non-washing or
delicate fabrics apply dilute permanganate
of potash solution (half teaspoon to a
pint of water) with medicine dropper
or glass rod. After two seconds moisten
with plain water.
The brown mark left by the per-
manganate can then be removed either
with peroxMe of hydrogen one part to
three or four of water, or oxalic ac d
(one teaspoon of the crystale to quarter
or half a pint of water). Repeat as
necessary. LTse. peroxide in preference
to oxalic acid when treating silk, wool
or delicate stuffs Never allow oxalic
solution to dry on air. material. Always
rinse thoroughly.
INK (red): First try soaking in
warm borax solution. If this does not
act try methylated spirit.
INK (Indian): Very difticid to treat.
Will sometimes react to citric acid solution.
IRON-MOULD on white linens:
Sprinkle the affected part with oxalic
aeid crystals and stretch over bowl.
Tie in place. Pour boiling water through
stains. If preferred1, soak stained part
in hot solution (teaspoon crystals to
each quarter to half pint water). Rinse
well, adding two tablespoons ammonia
to a gallon water to neutralise the
oxalic acid.
JAM: Plain warm water sponging
or borax solution.
LIPSTICK (also rouge): Work a
colourless grease into stain- Then gather
up part and dip into carbon tetrachloride
or a good spirit solvent. Should stain
still show, apply methylated spirit.
MILK: If fabric will not bear or-
dinary laundering, sponge carefully with
lukewarm water. Let fabric dry and then
remove grease with a spirit solvent.
PAINT: On wool, rayon or silk
materials use turpentine to soften stain
