Coffee Stains
Dear Aunt Daisy, I wonder if you could tell me through The Listener how to remove some coffce stains from a frock. Faye, Wellington. Tea and coffee stains have a similar treatment, Faye. Get some glycerine
from the chemist, and rub it well into the stain, and leave it for two or three hours. It may not appear to have gone, but sponge with luke warm soapy water, and rinse with clear, and see how it is. Or you could soak for a while in tartaric acid dissolved in cold water-then rinse it out. Or a mixture of methylated spirits and warm soapy water is often effective. Rinse it out, too. Then dry the marks as much as you can with a towel, and shade the moisture out at the edges, so that it will not leave a water mark. Press it when dry.
