Treat stains from the tarry substances in the stem of a pipe in the same
way as tar. Use one of the following methods to remove tobacco juice
stains:
Cold water and glycerine.—Sponge with cold water; then work warm
glycerine into the stain. Let stand for half an hour, and wash with soap
and water. If the stain cannot be completely removed by washing, bleach
it in the sun. Moistening it with lemon juice makes it disappear more
quickly.
Wood or denatured alcohol.—To remove traces of color remaining on wool
materials after the above treatment, sponge with alcohol.
Bleaches.—Try one of the following to remove remaining tobacco stains:
_Hydrogen peroxide or sodium perborate._—Sponge with hydrogen peroxide
or with sodium perborate solution (4 tablespoons to a pint of water). Or
sprinkle powdered sodium perborate on the moistened stain. Rinse
thoroughly.
_Javelle water._—For stains on cotton or linen, dip the stain in Javelle
water for 1 minute (no longer), remove the chlorine from the cloth with
a sodium thiosulfate solution, rinse well in water. (See p. 6 for more
detailed instructions.) Do not use Javelle water on silk or wool
materials. Be sure to test the cloth for colorfastness before applying
this bleach.
