"  The General Rules: 1. The longer a stain remains, the tougher it is to remove. 2. Always treat a stain before laundering. 3. Blot gently \u2014 never rub; and don&amp;#039;t ever blot with hot water. 4. As for those damned neckties? Do not spill on them. Period. It&amp;#039;s that simple. The bias cut and delicate fabrics make ties, as you have probably learned, impossible to clean. But as for those cotton shirts and wool pants: Lipstick: Blot with a baby wipe or a washcloth moistened with rubbing alcohol. Blood: If it&amp;#039;s fresh, blot repeatedly with cold water, an ice cube, or club soda; if it&amp;#039;s dried, use a 3 percent hydrogen-peroxide solution. Oil: Cover with talc or baby powder immediately and allow it to sit at least a half hour. Then brush it off, apply a stain remover (such as Spray n&amp;#039; Wash), and wash in the hottest water the fabric can stand. Ink: On cotton, apply rubbing alcohol to the spot, then wash. On polyester, spray liberally with hair spray and pat with a clean, dry cloth. Then wash. Red wine: Douse with salt, dunk in cold water, blot until the stain disappears, and wash as soon as possible. If you&amp;#039;re at dinner and unable to strip down, soak the spot with club soda and get home to your washing machine ASAP. How to Remove Stains       "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
