MISCELLANEOUS INFORMATION 519 



Perspiration. Soak in cold water, wash with borax 

 and spread garment to dry in sunlight. Under-arm stains 

 usually require an acid such as a weak solution of muriatic 

 acid. 



Burned cooking utensils. To clean granite ware 

 where mixtures have been burned on the surface, fill con- 

 tainer half full of water, add good soap, washing powder, 

 or baking soda. Bring water to a boiling point and scrub 

 with a small brush. 



Tea, coffee or cocoa. Wash with cold water, pour 

 glycerine over spots and let stand for a few hours. Then 

 wash with cold water and hard soap. If stains are fresh, 

 pour over the stains boiling water from a height of four or 

 five feet, after soaking. 



Tar or wagon grease. Use cold soap-suds. 



Pit stains. Grease with lard before using soap and 

 water. Turpentine will usually remove the stains if other 

 remedies fail.
