Best stain treatment methods?

I’ve been treating pieces for stains for a bit now. My go to method for spot treating is using boiling water with borax and oxi clean powder and brushing with a toothbrush and then rinsing in the wash.
I was wondering if anyone has any better methods for treating tough stains. Thanks

I haven't tried the boiling water part, but I've heard about it.

But I have had of successful soaks in borax/oxy for 3-5 hours.

I usually start making a paste out of the oxy and focusing on the stain, then soak it.

Recently I tried the new and improved Didi7, but didn't feel like it was better than just using an oxy paste directly.

We put this list together a decade ago and have updated it several times since:
