Teach us your ways, O Laundry Sensei.

It depends on the fabric and what you're trying to do. What in particular would you like to know?

Here are a couple of general tips:
Most stains in cotton can be removed by dissolving Oxi-Clean in cold water and soaking the garment in it overnight.

Yellowing of white cotton is defeated by soaking in water with some bluing or sometimes even just a few washes with bluing added.

Blood stains (again, cotton) are best treated by immediately soaking it in cold water with Oxi-Clean for a couple hours, then put the garment in the washing machine and add detergent as usual. If it's a top-load washer, start the permanent press cycle using cold wash and cold rinse. While the washtub is filling, add bluing to the soak water and then dump that in before the tub finishes filling so your machine can adjust to the change in water level and won't overfill. The garment should come out stain-free after the wash cycle finishes, but white garments may require a second cycle with just a bit of Oxi-Clean and half as much laundry detergent as usual.
