About this section

Short, practical answers. The stain guide explains why some stains refuse to budge, what to keep in the cupboard (vinegar, baking soda, a good detergent), how cotton, silk, wool and denim each need treating, and a step-by-step method: blot, pre-treat, scrub gently, rinse and wash.

If you're comparing laundry services, there's also a straightforward overview of how Duffloo works: what it costs, how fast it is, how pickup happens, who washes your clothes and how support works.

The quickest stain rule of all: act fast and use cold water first. Hot water can set protein stains like blood and egg, and rubbing pushes a stain deeper into the fibres, so blot from the outside in. If you're sending the item to us, mention the stain in your order notes so your Washer Hero knows to look for it.

Check that a stain has fully gone before the item goes in the dryer, because heat fixes whatever is left behind.
