Iodine.
One of the following agents may be used in removing iodine stains from
unstarcbeil materials:
1 . Water. Wash the .stain in an abundancf^ of waitT or soak it for a
number of hovirs in cfild water. These staiuj^ can be removed also by
wetting with water and drying in a warm place, such as over a radiator^ |
repeating this if ntH-t-sHary.
2. Ammonia. Sponge the stain with dilute ammonia.
3. AlcohoL Sponge the stjiin. Thb agent frcijuently can be usod on
materials which water would injure.
4. Starch, prepared as for laundry purposes; for washable materials.
Inunerse the stained place in the starch and lx>il; it first turns blue and
then disapiM'ars.
5. Flour, u.*«e<l in the sjime manner as starch.
For removing iodine stains from starchtxi materials one of the following
agents may be empltjyetl:
L Ammonia, Soak the stains in dilute ammonia until they dia- ,
appear.
2. Water. Boil thi* Htaininl material for 5 or 10 minutes.

STAIN REMOVAL
For irofi-rust stains on white wfLshaltle rnatc»rials one of the agent,s given
below ahould be «sed. In the case of colored materials, the effeet of the
agent should Ix* tried first on a sample or m an in conspicuous place.
1. Hydrochloric acid, m&de by diiutjiig the strong acid with ?m equal
Vfjlume of water. Spread the Btained place over a bowl of hot water and
apply the acid drop by drop until the stain turns bright yellow; then im-
merse at once in hot water and rinse thtiroughly, Repe^it the treatment,
if necessary. Add a little anunonia or l»orax to the tast rinsing water to
neutralize any acid which may remain in the goods.
2. Oxalic acid» in saturated solution, asf^d in the same way as hydrochloric
acid in No. 1. Or apply the ery.stals directly to the stain and moisten.
3. Cream of tartar. Boil the stained place in a stjlution of 4 teaspoon-
fuls to 1 pint of water, until the stale disappears. This agent, owing to
i\s cost, is practicable only for stains upon small artielm which can be
tmmefsed and ImikMi in a cup or two of fiolution, though it may be used
in the case of larger articles by holding them alwjve the solution in such a
way that only the stainefl portion is immerse<b
4. Lemon juice. Hprcad the stained place over a vessel of actively
boUing water, and then squeeze lemon juice on tlie stain. Aftc»r a few
miiiutes rinse the stain and repeat the process. Tliia method is rather
slow but does not injure delicate wliite cotton or hnen fabrics.
5. Lemon juice and salt. Sprinlde the stain with salt, moisten with leraon
juice, and place in the sun, adding more lemon juice if necessary.
