Grass Stains
Dear Aunt Daisy, I have heard you giving a few methods of taking out grass stains, I would like to tell you an easier way than any I have heard you give out-I have used this way for ages, and it never fails. With a knife smear treacle on the green marks, leave it on for half an hour, or longer if you can, and then wash it off in nice, hot soapy water. You will find there is not a mark left.
Kia Ora
(Christchurch),
Thanks for that good hint, Kia Ora, One sometimes is unfortunate enough to get a grass stain on tennis clothes when shops are shut, and one cannot get to a chemist to buy the usual glycerine or methylated spirits, both of which are good for soaking the stain in, for some hours, afterwards washing in soapy water. Kerosene is good, too, but treacle is the handiest.
