Tomato Juice Removes Ink
Dear Aunt Daisy, I have heard over the air several times, inquiries for removing ink stains. I will tell you something I tried with great success. A friend of mine had a nice light grey brush-wool pullover, which he wore at a smoke concert. Someone was clever encugh to throw an ink-well at him, which simply ruined his pullover. Now this is what I did — rubbed in tomato juice — (over-ripe tomatoes are quite good). Just cut them in two, then. rub well: in, gently. Leave soaking for some hours. Then wash the garment in warm water, with soap powder, rinse and hang out.-" R.R.," (Ponsonby). Thank you very much. I am so glad to hear of the proof of suggested remedies; the use of tomato juice for ink stains is often recommended, so is mustard, applied to the stain mixed with water, as if for the table.
