Fruit Stains on Frocks
Year Aunt Daisy, I am one of those country listeners who does not get a chance every day to hear your session. I have a baby daughter 18 months old whose name is Barbara. I am wondering if you have a recipe for removing fruit stains from her little frocks. I heard you say you thought New Zealand to be "God’s Own Country." Yes, we in New Zealand don’t realise what other countries in tthe world have been passing through in the past 12 months. Best wishes from

Say "hullo" to little Barbara for me. For the fruit stains, cover with a paste of starch and water. Leave for some hours, then lift off and wash as usual. Or soak in methylated spirits for 3 minutes, then wash with thick, cool, soap solution. If the colour is fast, add ‘a few drops of ammonia. Or you can also soak the stains in glycerine for several hours, then pour on hot water, from a height. I think these should help you,
