Ordinarily stain molecules are removed in one (or a combination) of these 3 ways: 1. Dissolved and carried away in a water/detergent mixture. 2. Cut into smaller fragments by the stain remover and then carried away. 3. Strongly bonded stain molecules may require a non-aqueous (non water based) strong solvent such as dry cleaning fluid.

Most modern detergants and stain removers use enzymes to remove organic stains and bleaching chemicals to remove non-organic stains.

It depends if your kind of stain is polar or non-polar, if it is polar stain it can be remove by a polar stain remover but if it is non-polar, use the non-polar stain remover to eradicate the stains in the cloths or fabrics!
