Stains a problem?

Try the Sard Wonder Soap bar for removing stains on clothing and household linen.

Before washing, prepare as follows:

• For fresh stains, wet the stain and rub well with bar of soap, then wash as usual.

Note: for smaller stains simply wet the end of the Sard soap and rub it on the stain.

• For larger stains try soaking the item in cold water first. Then rub stained area well with the bar of Sard. Machine wash as usual.

Works on all stains – ink, wine, food, etc (Contributed by Ann H)

Ball point ink stain

Apply Vanish gold power gel and rinse with water (repeat several times). Most of the stain was removed except a little yellow stain that couldn't be got rid of. Good Housekeeping has another tip (below). Has anyone tried anything different that worked?
