Stains from soup should be tfcated in the same way as those from white
sauces (page 306),
The fcjllfnving agents? are fairly satisfactory:
1, Soap and wat^er (ordinary laundering). Hub the soap thoroughly
on the st>aiti.
2, Chloroform, gasoline, or other organic solvent, for materials injured
by washing. Imnierse the stain in the solvent and while immerscHl rub
it gently or brush it with a small soft brush.
Sugar drtips.
One of the following agents nhould be used in removing sugar simp
stains:
1, Soap and water (ordinary launderinf;). for wiu^hablc materials.
2. Sponging with clear water is sali.sfactui y for other niateriali*.
Tar, roml tnl, creosote ml^ mphttU^ ruphait pnint, and ihe like.
The stains from these substances are grouped together l>cpause they
are s«imewhat similar in their ehemiral c^omfjosition. In gem^ral, the same
9olvent.s are ustnl for all. The stains are rather difficult to remove from
textik^, especially from eotton, aufl after the oily or tarr^^ part of the
spot has l>i^n removed, dark-eolore<l organic or mineral impurities arc
likely to r^'main.
One of th(" following agents may be used:
1. Turpentine. Spimge the stains or immerse them in turpentine, and
rub. The latter tn^atment is l)est. if the fabric is not too flelicate. For
stains on t arpet, scnil> with a (*loth soaked in turpentine, changmg to a
fresh c*loth as soon as it becomes discolored, and continuing as long as
any color comes off.
2. Turpf-ntine, m in No, 1, followed by thorough washing in soap and
hot water (p. 2H4).
3. Chloroform, api^hi^l in the same way as turpfmtine in No. 1 and No, 2.
4. Lard, liiib tlton Highly intt> the stiiin, then wash in hot water and

waah material which can be boiled in a small quantity of liquid.
