STAIN
MIXTURE.--Take
an
ounce
of
sal-ammoniac
(or
hartshorn)
and
an
ounce
of
salt
of
tartar--mix
them
well,
put
them
into
a
pint
of
soft
water,
and
bottle
it
for
use,
keeping
it
very
tightly
corked.
Pour
a
little
of
this
liquid
into
a
saucer,
and
wash
in
it
those
parts
of
a
white
article
that
have
been
stained
with
ink,
mildew,
fruit,
or
red
wine.
When
the
stains
have,
by
this
process,
been
removed,
wash
the
article
in
the
usual
manner.
CHEMICAL
RENOVATING
BALLS--for
taking
out
grease,
paint,
pitch,
tar,
from
silks,
stuffs,
linen,
woolen,
carpets,
hats,
coats,
&c.,
without
fading
the
color
or
injuring
the
cloth:--1/4
ounce
of
fuller's
earth,
1/4
ounce
of
pipe-clay,
1
ounce
salt
of
tartar,
1
ounce
beef
gall,
1
ounce
spirits
of
wine.
Pound
the
hard
parts
and
mix
the
ingredients
well
together.
Wet
the
stain
with
cold
water,
rub
it
well
with
this
ball,
then
sponge
it
with
a
wet
sponge
and
the
stain
will
disappear.
TO
PREVENT
COLORED
THINGS
FROM
RUNNING.--Boil
1/4
pound
of
soap
till
nearly
dissolved,
then
add
a
small
piece
of
alum
and
boil
with
it.
Wash
the
things
in
this
lather,
but
do
not
soap
them.
If
they
require
a
second
water
put
alum
to
that
also
as
well
as
to
the
rinsing
and
blue
water.
This
will
preserve
them.
TO
REMOVE
STAINS
FROM
MOURNING
DRESSES.--Take
a
good
handful
of
fig-leaves,
and
boil
them
in
two
quarts
of
water
until
reduced
to
a
pint.
Squeeze
the
leaves
and
put
the
liquor
into
a
bottle
for
use.
The
articles,
whether
of
bombasin,
crape,
cloth,
&c.,
need
only
be
rubbed
with
a
sponge
dipped
in
the
liquor,
when
the
effect
will
be
instantly
produced.
If
any
reason
exists
to
prevent
the
substance
from
being
wetted,
then
apply
French
chalk,
which
will
absorb
the
grease
from
the
finest
texture
without
injury.
