Blood stain: Soak the item in cold water for 30 minutes. If the stain
still does not disappear, soak in a mixture of water and ammonia (3
table-spoons of ammonia in 4 litres of water) for 30 minutes.
Cream, ice-cream and milk: Soak the item in cold water and rub the
stained area with detergent. If the stain has still not disappeared,
apply diluted lye on the fabric. (Do not use lye on coloured clothes.)
Mould: Mould stains should be cleaned as soon as possible. The
stain should be washed with detergent, and if it does not disappear, it
should be wiped with oxygenated water (in proportion of 3%).
Ink: Hold the stained area under cold water and wait until the inky
water completely runs off. Then rub with lemon juice and detergent
diluted in water, wash after waiting for 5 minutes.
Fruit: Stretch the stained area of the item on the top of a container
and pour cold water on it. Do not pour hot water on the stain. Wipe
with cold water and apply glycerine. Wait for 1-2 hours and rinse after
wiping with a few drops of white vinegar.
Grass stain: Rub the stained part with detergent. If the type of fabric
is suitable for use of lye, wash it with lye. Rub your woollen items with
alcohol. (For colour, use a mixture of 1 part pure alcohol and 2 parts of
water).
Oil Paint: The stain should be eliminated before it dries by applying
thinner on it. Then it should be rubbed with detergent and washed.
Burnt stain: If your cloth is suitable for use of lye, you can add lye
into your washing water. For woollens, a cloth damped in oxygenated
water should be covered on the stain and it should be ironed with a
dry cloth on it. It should be washed after rinsing well.
