[PsharkJF]

Spilled some dilute nitric acid on my clothes in chem lab, is there any way to get the yellowish stain out?

something that reacts with nitric acid to form a white salt would prolly work...unless the stain is from a reaction between the acid and the shirt

i was going to suggest the same

a drycleaner *might* be able to get it out, but make sure you tell someone whats on the shirt, and make sure they write it down when you tell them.
