Soap and water.—If the material is washable, soap and water will often
remove a fresh stain. Or moisten with water and place either in the sun,
over a warm radiator, or hold in the steam from a boiling teakettle.
Denatured alcohol.—On materials that water would injure, sponge with
alcohol. On acetate rayon and colored materials be sure to dilute the
alcohol—1 cup denatured alcohol to 2 cups water.
Sodium thiosulfate (“hypo”).—Sponge the stain or dip in a solution of 1
tablespoon of the “hypo” to 1 pint of water. Rinse well in water.
