1. Dish Soap

Function: Dish soap is a surfactant, meaning it helps break up and lift oils and grease. Many stains, especially food-based ones, have an oily component. The dish soap breaks down these oils, making the stain easier to remove.

2. Hydrogen Peroxide

Function: Hydrogen peroxide is an oxidizing agent that helps break down the chemical structure of stains, especially those caused by organic compounds like blood, wine, or food. It has a bleaching effect, which helps to lift color-based stains from fabrics without being as harsh as chlorine bleach.

3. Baking Soda
