GUM: To remove chewing gum from kids
clothing - harden the gum on the garment with ice; it will become brittle,
and can be chipped off, wash thoroughly to remove any sugar.
CANDLE WAX: Place the stained area between
paper towels, or pieces of brown paper, and press with a warm iron to
absorb the wax.
PERSPIRATION: Soak the stain area in
a warm white-vinegar water.
INK: Do not use hairspray on ball point
pen ink. The oils and lanolin in the hairspray can cause more stains.

GENERAL TIPS:
- Never iron fabric with a deodorant stain, as this will permantly
damage the fabric.
- Be very careful not to get suntan oils on garments as many of
them will permanently stain.
- Do not attempt to remove cosmetic stains yourself, as the color
in cosmetics runs easily and enlarges the stain.
- Never wash an egg stain in hot water - this will cause the stain
to set.
- The safest form of mild bleach for whitening all natural fibers
is white vinegar.
- A common fatal error is the use of acetone in home stain removal.
Acetate fibers will dissolve in acetone - Don't attempt your own
stain removal.
- Some water spots on fabrics such as taffeta or silk can be removed
by holding the fabric over steam (as from a kettle) and then ironing
gently while damp.
- If the stain is still wet, do not rub it, or you will spread
it. Simply try and absorb excess moisture with paper towel or cotton
towel.
