stains, and compound stains.
q Absorbed stains can be removed by rubbing gently a pad
containing a suitable solvent over the stain from outer edge
towards centre by keeping stained cloth on absorbent fabric.

carefully brushing off stained area. Then rub gently with a pad
containing solvent from the back of fabric.
