Do you have a stain removal tip to share?

That's why I want to hear from you.
Everyone has a stain removal success story to share, and the rest of us can benefit from your experience once you share it with us.
In addition, if you are struggling with how to remove a stain, this is a good area of the site to look at, because you can read a tip or two which might get you headed in the right direction. (Click here to skip right down to the tips submitted by others.)
I have found that there are some very common stains that people struggle with, and so I have divided the tip submissions into several sections.
First, I have specific pages for you to share your tips for removing certain common stains, listed either by type of surface. Be sure to check to see if your tip fits under one of these specific categories, and if it does submit it there.
If your tip doesn't fit into one of these categories then submit your tip below, to the general tip submission category.
If you would like to give a review about a specific stain remover that helped you get out your stains, please submit your stain remover reviews here.
Have you discovered a great way to remove a certain type of stain?
Explain what stain you are able to remove (such as a type of food, ink, etc.), off what type of item (such as clothes, carpet, wall, etc.), and give us the details of how you did it.
You can also tell us what homemade or commercial stain removers you used.
Finally, you can share what didn't work in removing the stain, if applicable.
