When tryimg to remove stains on clothins.

First try water.

Then hot water.

Then soap and water .

Then a solution of washing soda or baking soda and water.

Then alcohol ( the stuff that you drink)

Then Acetone (propanone) nail varnish remover.

Finally Carbon tetrachloride ( tetrachloromethan), as the last resort.

DO NOT use bleach or hydrogen peroxide, they will remove the colour.
