Re: Aroid Stains

From: Jody Haynes webmaster at plantapalm.com> on 2000.04.30 at 18:35:16(4488) I have found that bananas are the worst for stains, but I have no experience with aroids in this regard. The fluid that drains out when a leaf or a bunch of fruit is cut is transparent, and the stain doesn't appear until after the clothing is washed and dried. I also have a drawer full of stained t-shirts and I have found nothing that works to get the stains out. Jody +More plantnut wrote: > Wandering around in the Collection can ruin T-shirts.
