The following agent will be found flatiRfiuctorj* for removing stains made
by water color paints on materials not injured by water:
1. Soap and water Wanh the material in lukewarm or cold water with
soap, the 8taiiic*:l fKjrtiops Innng rubbiMl if necessary. Both frc*sh and old
stains can l>e removed in this way. This methcKi \s^ siiti.sfaetory in the ease
of wjuslialile silk.s and w<xilens, n» well as cotton or linen material*.
The following agents are fairly Ruce<^sful in removing thcMt> wtuins from
materials like hnishf^l silk.*;, which Wimld W injured by washing. Although
it is almost imj>oKsil)le \o remove all traces of the stains, the appearance
of the spots may \ie improvt^J greatly.
2. Gaa*>line. Dip the stained portion in gasohne and rub vigorously,
3. Glycerin and water. S|X)nge the stain with glycerin untd the water
color is removed and then with lukew^arm water to remove the glycerin. In
caae a water ring is left, treat this as described under "water spots**
(pag»306).
Paraffin or paraffin wax.
For removing the part of the stain which has penetrated the filjer,
use one of the following agents:
