Have a hot iron with some thick brown paper: lay the paper on the
part where the grease is, then put the iron upon the spot; if the
grease comes through the paper, put on another piece, till it does
not soil the paper. If not all out, wrap a little bit of cloth or
flannel round the finger, dip it into spirit of wine, and rub the
grease spot; this will take it entirely out. Be careful not to
have the iron too hot; but try it on a piece of white paper, and
if it turn the paper brown, or scorch in the least, it is too
hot. If paint should get on the coats, always have spirit of wine
or turpentine ready, which, with a piece of flannel or cloth, will
easily take it off, if not left to get quite dry.
