Removing Dried Blood Stains From Fabrics
Tips on removing dried blood from your clothes.
Removing a fresh blood stain is relatively more simple. Often it can be rinsed out with cold water.
But sometimes the stain isn't caught until later. Anyone who gets their period or has experienced a nose bleed during the night definitely knows this annoyance. So what then?
While it is much harder to remove dried blood it can be done.
Things You’ll Need:
- Peroxide
- Baking Soda
- Brush
Step1
If the fabric is white often using bleach can rectify the situation.
Step2
However, if it is not, bleach will not help.
Soak the spot with peroxide, on contact it should star fizzing, let it sit for a few minutes and rinse.
Step3
You can also use baking soda. Make a paste using water and apply that afterward. It is better to use the brush to pound it into the fabric, making sure it is into the fibers, than scrubbing right away.
Rinse.
Step4
Keep repeating these steps until the stain is removed or considerably lighter.
It is up to you.
Step5
Throw in the wash.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
- Sometimes the stain cannot be removed all the way. But this method can make the stain much lighter and less noticeable. While this may not be good for clothing, for bed sheets and like that will probably be just fine.
- If after washing the stain is not as minimal as you would like, repeat these steps. DO NOT THROW IN THE DRIER if you wish to continue trying to remove the stain. The heat can cause it to set and be more permanent.
