Water and glycerine.—If the stains are on wool or silk, sponge with
lukewarm water. Then apply glycerine and rub lightly between the hands.
Let stand for half an hour and rinse thoroughly with water. If a grease
spot from cream remains, sponge with carbon tetrachloride.
Boiling water.—Remove fresh stains from washable materials by pouring
boiling water on the stain from a height of 2 or 3 feet, then wash in
warm soapy water. If a trace of stain remains, dry in the sun or bleach
with hydrogen peroxide and sodium perborate.
Hydrogen peroxide and sodium perborate.—Sponge with clear water and then
with a solution of 1 teaspoon sodium perborate to 1 pint hydrogen
peroxide. If the stain still shows, sprinkle powdered sodium perborate
on the stain and let stand half an hour. Rinse well with water.
