Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community

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.

Not so much a stain, but getting smeared raw eggs off of cars, windows, counters....it's no yoke.

That was eggcellent.

For blood (and especially old dried blood), I've found that oxiclean in cold water works well. Fill a bucket with a small amount of the hottest water you can and put some oxiclean in. Give it 30 seconds to dissolve, then fill the bucket up with cold water (follow the instructions for quantities of oxiclean and water). Then, put your bloody garment(s) into the cold water and let them sit for about 6 hours. Remove from the water, gently press some water out, and immediately launder your clothing as you normally would. If there's still blood, do another cycle before washing.

Don't do this if the care tag specifically excluded any form of bleach. In my experience, it works especially well on period stains.

fun fact in a pinch your own saliva can be used to work out a blood stain! iirc it works best on your own blood though

Does this work on cum stains as well? 🤔

I want to add that for the best effect you should put the fabric in your mouth, soak with saliva and suck on it at the same time.

Anyone tested the sweat with the vinegar? I'm a sweater and ruined too many clothes

I've tried citric acid with some success, but now I just use oxygen bleach.
