The following suggestions for th'
removal of various kinds of stains, as
given in the Scientific American. arr
worth retaining:
Fruit-Fruit stains can readily %
removed by treatment with javelle
water: for that reason the stains ap
nearing in cotton and linen garments
are said to be removed in the stand'
ana washing process. Silks and woods
are 10 be treated with the regeanls
given in the chart that are not detri'
mental to them.
Gruss-Thls stain is also removed
from cotton and linen by treatment
with iayelle water. Silks and woods
are treated with a mixture of equal
narts of ethyl alcohol and ethyl ether.
This is a solvent for the green dye
present in grass.
Grease-The average grease STAIN
is removed in the standard washihs
process. Any stain that survives TINS
treatment may be softened with oleic
acid and lard and washed IN 4 NOT
solution of soda ash. If the grease
has contained a mineral stain agent
ike iron or some type Of dyestuft
IL can be treated specially as described
pnder these headings. The best treat
mont to be accorded to silk and woods
is with one of the many grease sol
vents given on the chart. me soiu-
bilities of the different types of grease
vary with the different solvents, n
1t is often necessary to experiment
with several solvents before the most
efficacious n is found
Cocoa and Chocolate-These stains
occur in most cases on white table
linens and when too deep to be re-
by the water and soap. are re-
moved by the bleach bath.
Coffee-Javelle water, applied in
the bleach bath. removes this stain
effectively.
Cream and Ice Cream-the princi-
pal ingredint that causes trouble IN
this type of stains is the butter fat
present. When this is removed with
hot water and soap the stain is us
ually gone. completely. In the case
of an ice cream that has fresh fruit
Juice or a food dye present as color
ing matter the stain will be removed
BY javeIle water.
pyes-The treatment for a dye
stain has always to be determined by
a few tests on some portion of the
stained fabric. The first trial may
be made with javelle water; then with
permanganate solution, then with So
bisulphite solution and zinc. The
kind of material involved and the dye
itself have to be taken into consid-
Grafton for the successful treatment
of this type Of a stain. The removal
of hat dyes is facilitated by treatment
with IS per cent thyle alcohol in
which the greater portion OF the dye
is soluble. A residual stain nay have
to be treated with one of the oxidizing
or reducing agents prescribed ON the
