Ink Stains on Rayon
Dear Aunt Daisy, Could you please tell me if there is a way to remove ink stains from a child’s coloured rayon frock? I have tried ordinary washing as soon as Ppossible after the accident, but the stain is only partly removed.-Yours appreciatively, Regular Reader, Timaru. Salts of lemon will remove the ink stain, and should not hurt the colour in the rayon if rinsed well afterwards in plenty of water containing a little baking soda. Ask the chemist how much to dilute it. Could you try this first on a (continued on next page)
(continued from previous page) separate piece of stuff? Also you could try using photographic hypo, which is excellent. Get %/,0z. at a chemist, and dissolve it in a pint of water, Then soak the ink-stain in this, rubbing between the fingers, afterwards tinsing well, Hypo is said to remove even Indian ink, Sometimes a cut ripe tomato will remove ink; rub the place well, until it seems loosened, then wash. Mustard is often successful in removing ink, Make a thick plaster of mustard mixed with vinegar and water and leave on all night. Next day wash in warm soapy water. Do let us know which of these solves your problem.
