Stain Removal: Jam

On clothes try this: add 2tbsp vinegar to 1pt of hot water. Dip the stain in this solution, then place the garment on top of a clean folded towel and keep dabbing the stain particularly around the edges.

On carpet: Spoon up the jam and wipe the area with a cloth wrung out in warm water. Clean with carpet shampoo on any remaining marks.

Apply glycerine and leave for one hour. Soak or wash in a heavy-duty detergent containing oxygen bleach. If the stain remains, treat with hydrogen peroxide.
