Oil on a Carpet
Dear Aunt Daisy, Would it be possible for you to tell me of an effective means of removing oil‘from a carpet? The oil was spilt a few months ago and has seeped through to the felt underneath. I would be most grateful for some helpful advice in this
matter.

As the oil has been in so long, you | may find it almost impossible to remove the stain now. Try this. Get the chemist to mix for you a quantity of benzol and carbon tetrachloride, equal parts. This must be thoroughly soaked into the oil. If you could lift the carpet and soak it and the underfelt very well for several days-trenewing the solvent frequently- | you may manage it: Do let me know how you get on.
