TACKLING FOLIAGE AND PERSPIRATION STAINS

 
    Grass, flowers, foliage:
      Wipe the fabric with alcohol (be sure you color-test a hidden corner of the cloth first).
      Apply  mild chlorine bleach to any remaining stain.
      Perspiration:
      Wash the garment in warm water and detergent.
      If colors change, sponge the area with ammonia (try vinegar on an older stain)
      And if an odor remains after washing, soak the material for an hour or more in a
            solution of 3 to 4 tbsp. of salt per quart of warm water.
      Raisins:
      Remove the goo with a cleaning fluid, turpentine, alcohol, or another solvent.
      Then sponge the spot with cold water.
