Fruit juice: Pour boiling water from teakettle through the stain, hold- ing the kettle at least two feet above the garment This method seldom fails. When it does, a little borax may be applied. Iodine: Wash in warm water with soap while the stain is fresh. If this fails try alcohol. Ammonia also is effective.
