How to Use This Calculator

Enter Stain type, Fabric sensitivity, and Stain age (hours).
Set Stain area (cm²).
Review the Difficulty score (1-10) result.
Use Success probability (%) and Soak time per cycle (min) to inform your decision.

What each input means

Stain type: 0=Water-soluble (coffee/tea), 1=Protein (blood/egg), 2=Oil/grease, 3=Tannin (wine/grass), 4=Dye transfer, 5=Ink, 6=Rust/mineral, 7=Combination.
Fabric sensitivity: 0=Sturdy (cotton/polyester), 1=Moderate (wool/rayon), 2=Delicate (silk/velvet).
Stain age (hours): Hours since the stain occurred. Fresh stains under 1 hour are easiest to treat.
Stain area (cm²): Approximate area of the stain in square centimeters.

Difficulty score (1-10): Overall stain removal difficulty on a 1-10 scale.
Success probability (%): Estimated likelihood of complete stain removal.
Soak time per cycle (min): Recommended soaking time per treatment cycle.
Treatment cycles needed: Estimated number of soak-rinse cycles for best results.
Total treatment time (min): Total estimated time including all cycles and rinses.
Solution concentration (%): Recommended cleaning agent concentration as percentage of water.
Water temperature (°C): Recommended water temperature for treatment. Protein stains need cold; oil needs warm.
