The salt will keep the cloth from staining until you can get to it later. Keep Red Wine Stain Remover on hand to instantly remove red or grape stains prior to laundering. -To remove a grease stain, first remove as much of the grease as possible without forcing the grease further down into the fabric fibers. Use a paper towel to blot and absorb all the grease that you can. Next, apply a drawing agent such as baking soda, corn starch or talcum powder. Rub it in and let it sit for 15 to 30 minutes to allow it to absorb and draw the grease out of the fabric. Brush the powder off thoroughly and check the stain. -KEEP DRAINS RUNNING SMOOTHLY For a great once-a-month drain cleaner, pour ½ cup baking soda into the drain, follow with ½ cup white vinegar—it will foam. Cover and let sit 30 minutes and then flush with cool water. For stubborn, slow-running drains, pour 1 cup baking soda and 1 cup salt down the drain. Follow this with 2 quarts boiling water. Let sit 30 minutes, then flush with cool water. For burnt food in pots and pans, sprinkle pans liberally with baking soda, adding just enough water to moisten. Let stand for several hours. You can generally lift the burnt food right out of the pan. Free Days 2/2, 2/3, 2/20 ---Denver Zoo 2/2 ---Denver museum of Nature/Science
