Stains That Have Already Gone Through the Dryer
After years of answering laundry questions, I realized something: most stains fall into just a few categories. Once you understand what kind of stain youβre dealing with, removing it becomes much easier.
Before you dive into the stain library, I recommend watching this quick video where I explain the three main types of stains youβre going to encounter in your laundry.

In laundry, about 90% of stains fall into one of three categories.
Inorganic Stains
Inorganic stains are things like ink, dyes, or anything thatβs man-made.
Organic Stains
Organic stains are the most common. These include things like blood, red wine, and grass. If it comes from something natural, it usually falls into this category.
Oily Stains
Then there are oily stains. These are things that contain fats or oils. Butter, salad dressing, cooking oils β basically anything delicious tends to fall into this group.
Combination Stains
Whatβs interesting is that many stains are actually a combination of two types. For example, lipstick is both oily and inorganic, which is why it can be one of the trickier stains to remove.
Once you start thinking about stains this way, laundry gets a lot simpler. When you know what type of stain youβre dealing with, you know exactly how to treat it.
Below youβll find my stain library. Click on the stain youβre dealing with, and Iβll walk you through exactly how to remove it.
And if youβre looking at a stain and thinking, βI have no idea what this is,β donβt worry β that happens all the time.
