Stain from Cordial
Dear Aunt Daisy, I have had some orange cordial splashed on a grey woollen coat. So far I have used only warm water for sponging. (no soap). Can you give me some advice as to how to remove the remaining stains? I have some carbon tetrachloride which I could use if considered advisable.

Carbon tetrachloride is only a grease solvent, so would not do for fruit stains. I would try a thick paste of starch and cold water. Lay this on, like a plaster, tor 24 hours or so, keeping it damp. Then flake off the starch, and the stain should be much lighter, and a second application should finish it. This method does for fruit stains; but cordial may contain an ingredient harder to remove.
