Terms of Use

The rules for using StainLookup.

Last updated: 2026-11-06

What this site is

StainLookup is a free reference that gives step-by-step instructions for removing common household stains. It's provided for personal, non-commercial use.

Not professional advice

Everything here is general information, not professional cleaning, restoration, or conservation advice — see the full disclaimer. Always test any treatment in an inconspicuous area first and follow your garment's care label. You use these treatments at your own risk.

Acceptable use

• Use the site for its intended purpose: looking up stain treatments.
• Don't abuse it: no automated scraping that degrades the site for others, no attempts to disrupt it, and no misrepresenting the content as your own professional advice.

Our content

The text, treatment guides, and structure of StainLookup are our work. You're welcome to link to any page and to share treatments with friends. Don't republish the content wholesale or sell it without permission.

Affiliate links

Some pages may include affiliate links. If you buy through one, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you — it never affects which treatments we recommend.

No warranties, limited liability

The site is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind. To the fullest extent the law allows, we're not liable for any damage, loss, or injury from using — or relying on — anything on this site.

Changes

We may update these terms as the site evolves; the date above will change when we do. Continued use after an update means you accept the new terms.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Wisconsin, USA, without regard to conflict-of-law rules.
