Perspiration Stains
Dear Aunt Daisy, Can you recommend anything to take perspiration stains from fine pure wool material-rust colour. Also can you recommend a good brand of dress-pre-servers or a perspiration preventative?
J.A.
Otago,
4 hese stains are very stubborn and in trying to remove them one generally finds one has also spoilt the colour of the material. Try soaking in equal quantities of methylated spirit and warm soapy water, afterwards rinsing and drying in the fresh air; or soak in (continued on next page)
(continued from previous page) meths. alone, and afterwards sponge with warm soapy water. One Link in the Daisy Chain, however, was successful ir removing these stains by sponging them with liquid egg-preservative-she just took some out of her tin-full of preserved eggs! For your other questions, you should consult a good chemist and a good draper.
