T-shirt stains

From: "Richard Berry" berry_rl at hotmail.com> on 2000.05.02 at 01:45:29(4502) O. K., this works sometimes, but not always: Visit your local supermarket's laundry supply aisle. Look for a rack of small plastic bottles called "Stain Devils". There is a different formula for just about every kind of stain. Select the one for red wine stains and try that one on your T-shirts. You may save some of them. I agree with the view point that the sap from the abyssinian red banana(of course, it's not an aroid) has the most notorious stain-making capability. +More ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com

One MIGHT have to request the Doctor at the ER to please take away the pain, but try to leave the swelling. Cheers, Julius +More Heliconias stain real bad ! Same family as bananas.

Actually, that may not be so off-the-wall as it sounds. Just consider that in olden times (before the Victorian period), those who worked in or underwater used this method, for stictly practical reasons. Jason Hernandez Natur(al)ist-at-Large >>
