Going undercover:
The Hotel Monteleone
in New Orleans
For nontoxic cleaning,
listen to the executive housekeepers from Historic Hotels of
America. Fresh blood stains can be cleaned with hydrogen peroxide,
suggests Paulette Sable at the Hotel Monteleone in New Orleans. For
makeup stains on dark clothes, Sandy Gough of The Sagamore in
Bolton Landing, N.Y., recommends rubbing the material with a slice
of bread. Another great tip: White wine cleans red wine stains off
carpets, says Ewa Borkowska at Hotel Bethlehem in Bethlehem,
Pa.
