STAIN REMOVAL

five stain classes and the method for each — per publication H.E. 2-840 of the University of Kentucky Cooperative Extension

Built as a memo rather than a table: the thing worth hanging it up for reads across the room, with the full reference in smaller type below it.

Three sizes in one archive — from a sheet on the fridge to a poster on the wall.

Formats: A4 · A3 · A2
What you get: Print-ready PDFs, one per size, with every letterform converted to outlines — nothing to install, nothing to shift.
Subject: body and care · everyone · memo · study

Classes, methods, special cases and cautions are verbatim from publication H.E. 2-840, “Stain Removal for Washable Fabrics”, University of Kentucky Cooperative Extension Service. Applies to washable fabrics: “Dry Clean Only”, suede, leather and fur go to the dry cleaner. Bleach only as the care label allows. Checked 2026-08-13.

HOT WATER COOKS A STAIN LIKE AN EGG

Protein coagulates with heat — so blood, milk, egg and grass doused in hot water cook right inside the fibres, and the stain becomes permanent. The source says it plainly: cold water first, hot only after the protein is washed out.

The same reason forbids ironing a stained garment: heat sets any stain, even one that would have lifted in a single wash.

Colour carries meaning, but meaning never rests on colour alone — the sheet reads in black and white.
Nothing about how it was made: the sheet carries only what the reader needs.

Printing

Three sizes in the archive: A4 — 210×297 mm, A3 — 297×420 mm, A2 — 420×594 mm.
All text is converted to outlines. No fonts to install, and nothing shifts on another machine.
White background and sparing fills — it prints on a home printer without draining the cartridge.
Margins of at least 10 mm: a home printer cannot print to the edge.
No stroke thinner than 0.3 mm, so nothing disappears in print.

Why the numbers can be trusted. Every countable number here is computed from data rather than typed in, and the sheet must pass 8 independent checks before it is allowed to build — how many items there are, the order they come in, and the claim in the highlighted box itself. If one fails, there is no file.
