There are many cleaning agent available in the market. But we
need to know what the are the used and for which stains they
are. You will find a very helpful guidance in this article.

SOLVENTS Cleaning fluids (non-flammable) Carbon tetrachloride *
Stoddard solvent Flammable Benzene, gasoline, and commercial
cleaning fluids so designated Turpentine Alcohol * (denatured);
dilute with one to two parts of water for acetate and delicate
colors Kerosene Acetone; do not use on acetate, Dynel or Arnel
Amyl acetate (banana oil); can be used on acetate
SOLUTIONS FOR RUG STAINS (see also Rugs and Carpets) Detergent 2
teaspoons of detergent stirred until dissolved in 2 cups of warm
water. Apply to stain with medicine dropper and wipe gently with
clean cloth, using rotary motion. Sponge with clean warm water,
then blot with damp cloth.
Vinegar 1/4 cup of white vinegar in 3/4 cup of lukewarm water.
Apply as above, gently patting the area with cloth. Allow
solution to remain on stain for 15 minutes, then blot and rinse
as above. · Poisonous: store carefully. Keep bottles tightly
stoppered possible. Then saturate the spot with carbon
tetrachloride until the gum yields. STICKY FLYPAPER, ADHESIVE
TAPE, WAXES, and COD LIVER OIL also respond to cleaning fluids.
But treat the cod liver oil stains before the material is
washed. For PRINTER'S INK rub in vaseline or lard, then use the
fluid. For RUBBER CEMENT use cleaning fluid. If the cement stain
is old and hard, soften it with vaseline before using the
cleaning fluid, or rub it with a dry cleaning soap. Solvents are
also useful in dealing with stains made by SHOE · DRESSINGS and
the tough kindred group made up of TAR, ROAD OIL, AXLE GREASE,
PITCH, and ASPHALT.
OTHER SOLVENTS good for paints of various kinds are carbon
tetrachloride, benzene (for ordinary spar VARNISH), kerosene,
alcohol (for SHELLAC) and acetone. Acetone is especially good
for LACQUERS and seldom affects colors. It will remove
FINGERNAIL POLISH, MIMEOGRAPH CORRECTION FLUID, and AIRPLANE
"GLUE." Acetone can be used on rugs and on all fabrics excepting
acetate, Dynel, and Arnel, which it dissolves. For these, first
wet the stain with cleaning fluid, then apply a drop of amyl
acetate (banana oil), but if the stain was made by a lacquer
that contained acetone, the fibers will already be damaged.
WATER. Many stains caused by materials other than grease, even
fruit stains can be removed from cloth with plain cool water if
they are treated when they occur. Always try cool water first;
it is the safest of all solvents. Rugged play clothes, badly
stained (as when little Susie and Jerry discover a wild
strawberry or blackberry patch) can be easily cleaned if you put
them right into the washer with the water set for very hot and
run them through without soap or detergent.
STEAM from a boiling tea kettle can rout several stains that
many women consider difficult. For instance a fresh IODINE stain
can be removed easily from almost any material if you wet it
with water and hold it in steam. If the fabric is heat-sensitive
(silk, wool, or synthetic) hold it further from the spout where
the heat is less intense. IRON RUST stains often yield
obligingly to the steam treatment too. Moisten them first with
water, then squeeze lemon juice directly onto the stain and hold
it in the steam for several minutes. Rinse the stain with water
and if the stain has not disappeared completely repeat the
treatment as many times as necessary. Another way is to apply
lemon juice and salt and place the material in the sun. WATER
SPOTS are caused by displacement of sizing used in finishing
cloth and these too can be steamed. Since crisp silks and rayons
are the materials most likely to be spotted by water, and both
are sensitive to heat, hold them well away from the spout. Shake
the material about in the steam and press it after it has been
thoroughly dampened. Use steam to freshen VELVETS too.
Bleach can be used for cotton, linen and synthetics. Solvents
are fluids cleaning agents which are non-flammable. Acetone can
be used on rugs and on all fabrics. Many stains can be removed
from cloth with plain cool water, this is the basic solvent when
the stains occur. STEAM from a boiling tea kettle can rout
several stains that we consider difficult.
