{{reqphoto}} Any stained article of clothing will do. If you're feeling particularly generous, get photos of various types of stains (e.g. ink, wine, grass, oil). mwazzap 10:42, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

Minor Clean Up
I've alphabetized the list of stain types and fabrics and changed them to actual links for the wikipedia articles on them. Not sure why this wasn't done when the article was created, it's much easier to read. I also expanded the listain types and put more detail in to some of them, since it was quite vague and a lot of the stain types were very broad - which can be good in some cases, but when you're talking about "sauce" stains you usually mean "tomato" sauce stains, same goes for orange juice. Certain things are just universally more present.
I also removed "milk" from the list of stains as I've never heard of anyone, ever, talk about a milk stain. It makes about as much sense as listing water, more or less. 67.40.243.226 11:15, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

Sweat stains out of (white) clothes
Tools & Techniques
Fill your washer with very warm water without the clothes. Add 1 to 2 cups of hydorgen peroxide, add your clothes and let them soak up to an hour. Hydrogen peroxide is a safe bleach and shoud soak out the stains. If you have already dried the clothes in the dryer, the stains may not come out. The stains are heat set and can be very difficult to remove. It's worth a try. Try pre-treating the stains with a digestant or enyzme pre-treat.
#Fresh stains are easier to remove than old ones.
#Avoid machine drying or ironing until you've exhausted all stain removal efforts.
#Time and heat can set some stains permanently.
New wine or ink stains can be removed by placing salt on them, which absorbs the wine/ink over several hours. The salt can then be washed off or vacuumed.
Grass stains will usually come out of your clothes if you pre-treat with vinegar before machine washing.
If you feel this is was removed in error, cite the claims and return it to the article. mwazzap 08:02, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
Stain Removal
Can we have a real article on stain removal? Something more than these limited lists. That actually talks about protein, oils, tannins, alkaloids, surfactants, Saponification, and other chemistry involved. --Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.72.58.68 (talk) 19:32, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
Another kind of stain
Where is the article on the stain that is applied to wood for the exterior of a house, or a fence, or to wooden furniture? --Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.108.205.239 (talk) 15:28, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
