Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Yes, there are multiple combinations.

Firstly, a solvent or soap combination could be used as a polar solvent with soap. In this way, the nonpolar region of the soap molecules would mix directly with the stain while the solvent would surround the soap-stain micelle.

Secondly, another method or way is to have a combination of a nonpolar solvent with no soap. In this method, however, it is the solvent that would mix directly with the stain.
