the cloth. If this does not remove the stain, work liquid detergent into it and rinse. A final sponging with alcohol helps to remove the detergent, and the fabric dries faster. Test colors to make sure it is safe to use alcohol on them.

 

3. COMBINATION STAINS (greasy and non-greasy mixtures): On washable fabrics, treat the stain first for the non-greasy portion, using cool water and detergent as described in the two preceding paragraphs. Rinse the spot thoroughly and let the material dry. Then sponge the remaining greasy part of the stain with cleaning fluid'. Let the cloth dry and repeat if necessary. A bleach is sometimes needed to remove all traces.

 

On non-washable fabrics, sponge the stain with cool water, or put a sponge under the stain and force water through it. If a greasy stain remains, sponge it with a grease solvent.  Let it    dry. Repeat   if necessary.  For final traces use a bleach.
