Consumer Reports put out a little book entitled “How to Clean Practically
Anything.” It tells you, what solvent to use for a particular stain.

Glycerin will remove the stain from a ball point pen. Boiling water will remove
berry stains. Vinegar will remove crayon stains. Ammonia will remove blood
stains. Alcohol will remove grass stains. Hydrogen peroxide is good for magic
marker stains. Use bleach on mildew stains. Lemon juice works well on rust
stains.

But the book lists nothing for sin stains. “What can wash away my sin? Nothing
but the blood of Jesus.”
