Fallon County Time-ly Tips By Sherry Vogel The holidays are busy and a time of celebration. Many wear their finest clothes to special dinners, parties and other food and drink related events, only to be disap- pointed by spilling or drop- ping food on their best garments. Following are a few sugges- tions of how to remove some common holiday stains. • Alcohol beverage stains are best treated by immediately sponging the spill, then soak- ing in a solution of one quart warm water, one-half teaspoon detergent and one tablespoon white vinegar for 15 minutes. rinse with water. If stain re- mains, sponge with alcohol, rinse thoroughly and launder. Add bleach, chlorine-type if safe for fabric, to wash water. • Gravy or cosmetics: Sponge with dry cleaning solvent or waterless hand cleaner. Rinse with water. Air dry. Apply de- tergent to stain, launder or if available treat with a pre -wash spot and stain remover; laun- der. • Perspiration markings: Sponge or soak stain in cool water. Apply detergent to stain and launder. If odor remains, rub with bar of deodorant soap and launder again or soak overnight in a quarter of warm water with four tablespoons of salt. Rinse and re-launder. Color may be restored with ammonia (new stains) or use vinegar (old stains). • Wax, candle drippings: Scrape excess from fabric with dull knife. Place stain between paper towels and press with warm iron to remove wax. Sponge with dry cleaning sol- vent or waterless hand cleaner. Rinse with water. Apply deter- gent to stain, launder using hot water and chlorine -type bleach if safe for fabric. • Soft drink spills: Same pro- cedure as first half of alcoholic beverage procedure minus the sponging with alcohol. Be aware if soft drink stains are allowed to remain in fabric too long, they may result in per- manent yellowing It doesn't do any good to rlo something - It no one knows you're doing it.
