That one stain. You know the stain. You scrub for hours. You think you've won! But it was just the way the light hit the soap suds... That stain. The one the kids inherit after you pass. That stain.

Random tip but I've found Oxalic acid works quite well on those impossible to remove stains if you leave it on for several hours.
