Joe Lennon, Warren County health director Stain Removal Must Be Prompt, Specialist Says An untreated stain can ruin the prettiest blouse or dress. Dr. Harriet Tutterow, ex tension clothing special ist-in-charge, North Carolina State Univer sity, offers the following general rules for stain removal: —Treat stains as soon as possible. —Always test any stain remover on a sample of fabric taken from a seam allowance. To test, apply the amount of product recommended on the package. Let stand 2 to 5 minutes, then rinse. If the color is changed, don't use the product on the article of clothing. —To treat a stain, place the stained area face down on white paper towels and apply the stain remover to the underside of the stain. The stain will be forced off the surface of the fabric and not through the fabric. Move the stained area frequently to a clean place on the paper towels so that the stain will not be absorb ed back into the fabric. —When using any bleach product, do not try to bleach one spot on a colored garment. Bleach the whole gar ment to prevent uneven color removal. who sat in on Thurs day's session held in the Administration Build ing, said all represen tatives of Warren Coun ty who sit on the work group were present.
