Spilt Machine Oil
Dear Aunt Daisy, Would you please tell me how to remove machine oil from a silk crepe dress? "Miss B.A.F.,’ Ngaio. Here is a method given me by a dressmaker who had this trouble with a client’s wedding frock: Cover mark on both sides, liberally, with French chalk or powdered magnesia; rub in gerttly
with piece of same material, working outwards from centre, leave a while; then put double blotting paper beneath and also above stain and press with hot | iron. Remove blotting paper and rub | chalk off with clean piece of same) material, working outwards from centre. The hot iron causes the magnesia to | absorb the stain.
