The passage advises starting with pure water to treat stains before chemicals. Boiling water poured through the stained fabric can remove many fruit stains without spreading them. Other methods include rubbing with alcohol, using salts of lemon, or washing in clear water. Ink stains may respond to these steps, best applied soon after staining. Grass stains respond to alcohol, while iron rust can be treated with hot oxalic acid solution then ammonia rinse.
