REMOVAL OF STAINS PROM WOODEN
Fan RlCS.

The following practical hints on this subject
condensed by the Boston Journal of Chemistry
from the best foreign sources, furnish much use
fu! Information in q small space:
Mechanically attached particles may be re-
moved from all fabrics by beating, brushing, and
allowing water to fall from elevation upon
the wrong side of the goods.
Mueilage, mucus, sugar, jelly-Washing well
with iukewarm water will clear all goods.
| Fass-FrOm white goods: Wash out with soap
and I've. Colored cottons: Wash with luke
warm water and soap. Colored wooden: Luke
warm water and soap or ammonia. Silks: Clean
perfectly with benzole, ethe T, ammonia, magne-
STA, chalk, clay or yolk of eggs.
Oil cOlors, varnish, rosin-From all fabrics ex
eept silk: Oil of turpentine, alcohol, benzole,
and then soap. Silks: Benzole, ether and soap
very carefully aud in very weak solution.
| Stearine can be removed from all goods with
| strong, pure alcohol.
Vegetable Colors, Red Wine Fruits, Red Ink
From white goods: Sulphurous vapor of hot
| chlorine water. Colored cotton or wooden goods:
Wash in lukewarm water and soap, or ammonia
Silk may be treated in the same manner, but
very cautiously.
Alzarine Ink.-From white goods: Tartaric
acid; the older the spot the more concentrated.
Colored cOttons or wooden goods: If color per-
mits, dilute tartarc acid. Silks: As before, but
with very great caution.
Blood and Albuminous spots.-Simply washing
out with lukewarm water for all kinds of goods
Rust and Spots of Ink made of Nutgalls.-
From white goods: Hot oxalic acid, dilute n.y.
drochloric acid, and then tin filings Colored
cOttons wooleus: Ctric acid may be tried
White woolens: Hydrochlorc ctric acid. Silks.
Nothing can be done without increasing the evil.
Lime, Lye, and Alkaies in General.-From
white goods: Simply wash in water. Colored
cottons, wooens silks: Much diluted citric
acid, drop by drop upon the moistened spot, to
be spread around by the finger.
Acids, Vinegar, SOur Wine, Fruit Juices, Etc.
From white goods: Simply washing; in the
case Of fruit, also with hot chlorine water. Col
ored goods, either cotton, wool, or silk: Accor-
ding to the delicacy of the material and their
color more or less diluted ammonia, to be spread
around on the spot, moistened, drop by drop,
with the tip of the finger.
Tar, Wheel-grease, as also Fat, Rosin, Carbon
aceous Particles, and Wood Vinegar.-From
white goods: Soap with oil of tnrpentine, varied
with the action of falling water. From colored
cotton or woolens: Hogs lard to be rubbed on,
and then soaped, and allowed to remain quietly;
then washed alternately with water and turpen-
tine. From silks: As in the preceding but more
carefully, and instead of turpentine use benzole
and a continued current of water falling from a
height, and only upon the reversed side of the
spot. For cleaning silks soiled and creased, but
not thoroughly diseolored by acids, ETC., the
best agent is oxgall, diluted with lukewarm
water and strained Blood and albumen should
simply be soaked in cold water.
Superficial Loss of Substance by Searching
For white goods: Rub over thoroughly with
pad dipped in hot chlorine water. Colored cot
ton or woolens: Whenever possible color over,
or raise up the nap. With silks nothing can be
DONE
