I used this the other day Mag, recalling your previous advice, on a silk tapestry and it worked marvelously ... Thanks!

I have to ask I often have problems with getting smells out of the under arms of clothing, although I have washed them through really well, there is no getting away from the fact that the smell is still present, do you have any ideas on how to remove them completely.

I have a comment for Joanne above, apparently white vinegar works for smells in clothing.

Alcohol (as in vodka) removes odors from clothing - it's amazingly effective. Vinegar does too, but don't use vinegar on silk - it tends to eat the fibers and you can end up with weak spots in the fabric, if not holes!
