            Sweat stains:
          
        
        
          The signs of hard work are
        
        
          only too obvious on light-coloured fabrics.
        
        
          Soak sweat stained clothes in lukewarm
        
        
          water containing white vinegar, and then
        
        
          wash in the usual way.

            Tar:
          
        
        
          First, smear with butter to loosen the
        
        
          tar, and then carefully scrape off any coarse
        
        
          residues from the fabric. Then treat the mark
        
        
          with a little alcohol or use an aerosol stain
        
        
          remover containing benzene. Place a thick
        
        
          wad of kitchen paper under the fabric to
        
        
          absorb the tar residues. Another approach is
        
        
          to place the tar marked fabric between two
        
        
          sheets of blotting paper, and to use a hot iron
        
        
          to remove the tar.
