water. After drying, a sponging with carbon tetrachloride will
clear up the last traces of the stain, by removing fatty or oily
matter.
Ink (Writing)-
The composition of
writing inks varies; therefore, it is impossible to find agents
which are equally effective in removing all ink spots. In general,
no ink spot can be completely removed from velvets and flat
fabrics without injuring the goods. The following methods are
recommended and are listed according to their relative efficiency:
1. Gartside's Iron Rust Soap, manufactured by the Gart-
side's Iron Rust Soap Company, Philadelphia, and on sale
throughout the United States.
Rub the soap into the stain with the fingers. Let stand about
a minute and wipe off with dry cloth. Repeat the process until
the wiping cloth no longer shows a stain. Then rinse by rubbing
spot with cloth wet with cold water.
2.
Ink Eradicator No.1 Solution (Solution No.2 cannot be
used, since it changes the color of fabrics), sold at most drug
stores. Apply No.1 Solution to the spot with glass dropper and
then blot with blotting paper. Repeat process until a clean por-
tion of blotting paper shows no ·stain. Then rinse by rubbing
with clean cloth wet with cold water.
3. Saturated solution of oxalic acid. Use as outlined in 2.
4. Two per cent solution of sodium acid fluoride (sodium
bifluoride). Use same as 2.
Iron Rust-Rub
the spot with a clean
cloth saturated with warm soapsuds; rinse by rubbing with a
cloth wet with cold water. After the fabric has dried, treat the
remaining stain as if it were an ink spot, using methods outlined
for. the removal of ink spots.
Lipstick-Apply
a little carbon tetra-
chloride to the stain by means of a saturated cloth and imme-
diately press a blotter firmly on the spot. Repeat this procedure,
using new sections of blotting paper until the blotter no longer
shows stain.
Liquor-
Treat liquor and wine stains
exactly the same as fruit stains.
