Salad-dressings usually contain oil, vinegar (or lemon juice), and condiments, and may contain egg or cream also. If egg or cream is present, hot water must not be used. For discoloration due to the acid of the vinegar or lemon juice, treat in the same way as acid stains (p. 287).

One of the following agents should be used for salad-dressing stains:

1. Soap and water (ordinary laundering), for washable materials. Sponge delicate materials with lukewarm water, using soap if the material is not harmed by it.

2. Grease solvents.
