Dear Dis list subscribers,

I am in my final year of study on the RCA/V&A conservation course,
specialising in textiles. For my research project/dissertation I am
looking into the possibility of removing perspiration stains from
Viscose Rayon clothing.

I am writing to you all to ask if anyone has experience of removing
perspiration stains from any fabric or specifically viscose. If so what
did you use?

Any responses, comments or suggestions will be gratefully received.

Thank you very much,

Kind regards Jennifer.
