Sponge stain with alcohol. Dilute the alcohol with 2 parts of water for use on acetate. Test colored materials before using. If stain remains, place a pad of alcohol saturated cotton on the stain and keep wet until the stain is gone (1 hour or more). On fabrics that will not stand alcohol, wet the stain with liquid detergent to which a few drops of ammonia has been added. Then rinse with water. Repeat if needed.
Try full-strength white vinegar followed by a light spraying with a general multi-purpose cleaner. If stain remains, try a sol uti on of 1 part clear ammonia to 4 parts water. Agitate, blot, then rinse with clear water. Blot thoroughly and air dry!
CAUTIONS:
Always pretest each cleaning agent on an inconspicuous area first to determine colorfastness.
When using caustic, toxic, aromatic or flammable cleaning solutions, be certain to provide for adequate ventilation. Do not have an open flame near flammable cleaning solutions. Wear rubber gloves.

Alcohol will damage acetate, triacetate, modacrylics and acrylic fibers. Dilute with 2 parts water on acetate.
Vinegar should be diluted with 2 parts water and 1 part vinegar if used on cotton or linen. Use vinegar with care on linen and cotton.
