This seems to bounce around the internet with no real legit source to back it up, and when it was posted to a certain website starting with R, there were comments from professionals indicating most of it was complete bullshit.

1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.
2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.
3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.
4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.
5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.
6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

As is tradition with everything posted as a cool guide.
remove deodorant stains with denim? like just rub it on there?
Yeah I'm not sure what that's about.
The one I do remember is stains made with protein like blood you want to use cold water because hot water will cook it sorta like egg yolk.
That might also be bullshit from some infographic too, I'm just some guy on the internet.
Hot water or putting something with blood on it in a dryer will set the stain and make it near impossible to remove. I use an enzyme cleaner, like the kind for pet odors and it works pretty well. Never tried hydrogen peroxide. Whatever you use, make sure it is applied when the stain is fresh for better results.
This Lemmite cleans blood.
Ive tried hydrogen peroxide on blood and it bubbles up and changes color, but I've washed it out before! Usually when the fresher the better as you said tho
Ok this is super gross, but if it’s just a little blood, I’ve had excellent results using my own spit (before putting it in the proper wash lol)
As for deodorant, it doesn’t have to be denim, but using another fabric does work. I usually just use a sock or a towel, whatever’s handy when I notice it
You know it just occurred to me from your comment that they probably mean fresh deodorant. However when I think of deodorant stains I think of like pit stains and discoloration from extended use.
Using Denim for fresh deodorant makes more sense.
While some of it does seem suspect, the blood + hydrogen peroxide is totally legit. It's actually amazing to watch the stain disappear before your eyes. Very, very useful. And I can't believe I waited 25 years into my menstruating life to determine this.
What I would like to know is how to get a tajin stain out of a white tank top. I recently had a margarita with a tajin rim and some got on my shirt... I didn't think it'd be an issue so I washed and dried my tank and when I pulled it out, it appears to have dyed the fabric and I'm very sad about it.
Hydrogen Peroxide can discolour white fabrics if left too long. Apply it, let it fizz for a minute, then use an old toothbrush to scrub both sides of the fabric for a minute or so, then wash in cold water immediately.
That's true, best to use it in oxy-powder/stain-remover form that's been formulated for fabrics and so you can get one for whites and one for colours. Should work for pretty much all of these stains.
Man, damage/resistance types in these new Pokemon games are getting out of control.
My mom recently tried the using white wine to remove red wine stains thing and it made everything significantly worse. It just spread out the stain. It made It slightly lighter but like 5x larger. The white wine left a stain too. The area surrounding the red wine stains looks like it's wet even after it dried.
Sigh... Of course it did, because this guide is missing a crucial detail. For the wet area surrounding the red stain, add a rosé. Make sure it doesn't mix with the red stain. The stain should equalize and look like one stain. This is good.
Finally, you can add a champagné (it MUST be champagné, not a sparkling) Everything should return to normal. Health authorities don't want you to know this trick because having so much alcohol on-hand could recklessly endanger your productivity to society. My source is an amalgamation of German scientists that haunt me to this day.
I thought it say it was a guide to stans and I was wondering if k-pop group names got weirder lately.
Haha sorry for the disappointment!
Pretty much none of these work, because the few that kinda do all have major limitations or drawbacks.
Who’s out here pouring more wine onto their wine stains?
Anything for removing concrete stains from shirt or jeans?
Hammer?
But seriously, cement is made with limestone, and cleaning vinegar (10% acetic acid) dissolves hard water in kettles super easily... I'm not a chemistry guy, but I'd give that a try.
I just wanted you to know how much joy the idea of cleaning stains with a hammer gives me
Imagine if it worked? So satisfying
Seriously speaking though, the only “trick” I know is to have dedicated reno clothes
Have you tried that with Nooder’s Baystate Blue? Back in the good old days in r/fountainpens that ink managed to get quite the reputation.
