Denatured alcohol, carbon tetrachloride, and benzene.—Place a pad of
cloth or blotter under the stain and sponge with one of these solvents.
Then rub glycerine (use glycerine only with alcohol) or a dry-cleaning
soap into the stain and finally rinse out with the solvent. If this does
not remove the stain, let the stain dry; then wet with water and rub in
a synthetic detergent (nonsoap cleaner) to help soften the stain. Or use
strong soapsuds to which a few drops of ammonia water have been added.
Alcohol must not be used on acetate rayon or colored materials.
