Hi Y'all, Here are my tips for stain removal. - For items like rugs, sofas, mix one half cup of ammonia with two quarts of warm water and a squirt of dish liquid. Vacuum the item, and on hands and knees, sponge on spot, use a scrub brush if need be, and rinse. Pat dry, then let dry, then vacuum again. For clothes, get a bar of Fellsnaptha or Kirkman's yellow laundry soap, the kind your grandmother had. In hot water, wet the garment and rub the soap in. Make a lather, then go play with your pets. About one hour later, check it, should be gone. With three dogs, two birds, four ferrets, two cats, and a fish tank, brown is getting to be my favorite color. Marilyn and the gang at Ledoux Hospice.
