Chemistry
ScanSolve AI Answer
Saliva stains clothes because it contains enzymes, such as amylase, and proteins. When saliva dries on fabric, these organic compounds can leave a visible residue. The stain is often more noticeable on darker fabrics and can appear as a slightly discolored or stiff patch.
