Sponge meat-juice or gravy stains with cold or lukewarm water. Never use
hot water; it sets the stain. If a grease spot remains, launder washable
materials in warm soapy water. If the cloth is not washable, use an
absorbent powder or a grease solvent.
Absorbents.—Dust the powder over the stain, let it stand until it
absorbs the grease, then brush off.
Solvents.—Sponge with carbon tetrachloride, gasoline, or benzene.
