Ink Spots
Dear Aunt Daisy, I have a silk shirt which has a large ink spot from a leaking ink bottle. I shall be pleased if you will give me advice about how to remoye the stain. The shirt is a good heavy pre-war quality silk, and I don’t want to scrap it. Bachelor. Well, we have again been told recently how good mustard it. A Link had
a bottle of ink’ upset on her setteeso she mopped up as much ink as she could, sponged off a bit more with water, then mixed up some mustard with water -just as you would for the table-and laid that on the marks. After a while she washed it off-and the result was perfect. So, Bachelor, try putting a little mixed mustard on your stain, leave for a few hours, then sponge it off with some luke warm soapy water. Or you could also try soaking it in a saucer containing salt and lemon juice. Leave it for | an hour or two, and then hold over the ‘steam from a kettle. Don’t burn the shirt on the gas, though! And don’t rub the mark if you use salt and lemon.
