Stain from Carbon Paper
Dear Aunt Daisy, I read your articles in The Listener | every week, and have found your sug-| gestions so helpful that I’m now hoping | you can help me with my problem. I traced some initials on to a piece of | linen by means of carbon paper, and | unfortunately it smudged a little. Could you tell me how to get the smudge | " mark off? Mary, Napier. | . 1 think it will come off with carbon- | tetra-chloride, Mary-sponge hard. It | will not leave a mark. If not, try weak | oxalic acid. Pour some hot water on to : the crystals-about 2 or 3 teaspoons to | a breakfastcup of water. Lay the linen | on a folded towel, and sponge with the | liquid. Leave about 20 minutes or sowatch it, and when it seems to be fad- | ing out, sponge with clean water con- | taining a little baking soda to kill the | acid. The rinsing must be thorough. | Try the easy carbon-tetra-chioride first.
