Stain Buster — Margarine
The best ways to remove margarine stains
Fabric
Scrape off excess margarine and pretreat with a prewash stain remover. Wash on the hottest possible setting for that fabric.
Upholstery
Scrape off excess margarine. Sprinkle bicarbonate of soda or cornflour onto the stain. Leave for 10 to 15 minutes, and then vacuum. Using a clean white cloth, sponge the stain with a proprietary dry-cleaning solvent and blot until the solvent is absorbed. Keep sponging and blotting until the stain disappears.
Carpet
Scrape off excess margarine. Sprinkle bicarbonate of soda or cornflour onto the stain. Leave for 10 to 15 minutes, and then vacuum. Using a clean white cloth, sponge the stain with a proprietary dry-cleaning solvent and blot until the solvent is absorbed. If the stain remains, mix one tablespoon of washing up liquid and one tablespoon of white vinegar with two cups of warm water. Sponge the stain with this solution and blot until the liquid is absorbed. Sponge with cold water and blot dry to remove the detergent/vinegar solution.
