But that’s without taking into account the land of Sommières.
Apply absorbent paper to the stain, then sprinkle it with Fuller’s earth. Wait for it to dry and brush it off.

If your top is colored, apply sour milk to the stain and leave it for 1 or 2 hours. Then, wash your top normally. Sour milk is unstoppable against fruit stains!
If your top is wool, apply white vinegar to the stain then rinse with clean water.

If the paint stain is already dry, scrape it a little to remove as much paint as possible. Then, apply turpentine with a clean cloth and dab. The stain will be faded.
