picking blackberries stain on shirt
Oh my goodness. The advice to put stained clothing in the sun really brings
an old memory.
When I was a girl, we used to lay out stained clothing on the roof of the
pump house. (It was about 6 ft tall at the bottom of the eave.) Sometimes
we would put lemon juice on before we put it up there. I even put my white
tennis shoes up there after we washed them.
Periodically I'd go out and check the progress. Sometimes I was pleased and
sometimes I wasn't.
Usually laying it on the pump house was a last resort. I remember I had
just made a pretty pink checked gingham dress with smocking, and my Mother
scorched it right in front when she ironed it before I wore it the first
time. Well, the pump house trick worked, but it was a squeaker.
