  Washable Fabrics

 
Remove as much as possible, then carefully rub neat washing up liquid into stain, soak a cloth in warm water and rub this into the article. Repeat these instructions until most of the stain is removed. Wash in the hottest temperature the article can stand. Any stain remaining can be removed with either a commercial stain remover, or paint brush solvent. Wash as normal again.
 
  Non Washable Fabrics

 
Dry clean.
 
  Carpets and Furnishings

 
Scrape off as much as possible, then work neat washing-up liquid into the mark with your fingers. Rub with a cloth soaked in warm water. Apply more washing-up liquid and rub off again. Keep repeating this treatment until the mark has gone.
