A Red Ink Stain
Dear Aunt Daisy, My husband has somehow managed to get a big red ink stain on the collar of his greatcoat. Could you tell me how to remove it, please?-"‘A Soldier’s Wife" (Christchurch). Red ink is a tricky thing to deal with. Try ‘soaking the stain in methyleted spirits (the clear kind, bought from the chemist), and add a few drops of ammonia to the methylated spirits. Aiter five minutes, wash slowly in a thick solution of soap (soap jelly), and rinse in lukewarm water.
