One of the following agents may be utilized in removing tobacco-juice stains:

1. Soap and water (ordinary laundering). Sponge materials which cannot be washed. If a stain on washable materials cannot be completely removed by washing, bleach it in the sun. Moistening it with lemon juice makes it disappear more quickly.

2. Wood or grain alcohol. Traces of color remaining upon wool fabrics after sponging with water can be removed sometimes by sponging with alcohol.

3. Potassium permanganate, for stains which washing will not remove (p. 286).

4. Javelle water, for stains which washing will not remove.
