Tea Stains On Blankets
Dear Aunt Daisy, I wonder if you could tell me how to re.nove tea stains from white blankets. T have three with tea stains on
Westport
The best way is to damp the stained places thoroughly with warm water and then lay on a thick layer of borax. If the stain is bad, put the borax on both sides. Leave for 24 to 48 hours, keeping it damp. Then sponge with luke-warm suds containing a dash of ammonia, If very stubborn, you may have to repeat. Sometimes soaking the tea stains in glycerine for 2# hours, and then washing as above, will remove the stains. Do write and tell us how this works out-it helps others.
