Emulsion Stains on Baby Clothes
Dear Aunt Daisy, I was so thankful myself to get this method of removing emulsion stains from my baby’s woollies that I would like to send it in for you to publish for other mothers’ relief. Soak the stained parts in carbon-tetra-chloride, and rub well with a clean cloth while soaking; then wash in two changes of soapy water, rinse and dry. If still visible, mix one teaspoon of borax in a cup of hot water, add one cup of cold water, and a few drops of ammonia, Soak in this, then wash out. The second method is useful for other stains, also. Take 1 oz. of shaving soap, finely shredded, and dissolve it carefully in a quart of water, To do this, boil a small quantity of the water first, and dissolve the soap in it, afterwards adding the remainder of the cold water. To this, add 2 ozs. of ammonia, mix well, and bottle. This liquid is splendid for removing grease and oily stains of all kinds. Simply wash the stained parts of the garment in it, and the stains will disappear.-Young N.Z, Mother. This is a very valuable hint; we had better copy it out! ‘
