  Washable Fabrics

 
Immerse immediately in very strong salt water. keep changing the salt water until it runs clear. Rub any remaining marks with a salt paste, rinse thoroughly in cold water, allow to soak in cold water and biological detergent. At no time allow the stain to dry out. Do not use hot water - this will set the stain Once stain has gone wash as normal. Old stains may be treated using a solution of 10 ml ( 2 teaspoons) of ammonia in half a litre (pint of cold water), and a few drops of hydrogen peroxide added. Care should be taken with fabric. Suggest test on part of fabric that does not show, for instance the hem of fabric.
