What is Stain Science?

Stain Sceince is a database of the best stain solutions on the web. 

We searched and experimented and have come up with the easiest and best stain removing processes, all of which do not require any store bought stain removers.

These simple solutions call for household ingredients like vinegar, household ammonia, and baking soda. To see some of these solutions, visit our experiment index.

Science Behind The Stain

Science With Soaps And Detergents -

Soaps and detergents are surfactants, which lower the surface tension of water. This allows them to quickly penetrate the cloth.

Then mechanical action (the moving washer tub or in this case the scrubbing motion) lets the  detergent emulsify the dirt or oil (surrounds it) so it can't go back into the clothes.

Fact is, that it all depends on electrical charges in water and the detergent. To see the science in action visit our experiment index and get the stains out!
