Removing Blood Stains from Clothing
Description: Easy tips for removing blood stains from clothing.
Tip #1: For blood stains in laundry, apply meat tenderizer to stained area. Add warm water to make a paste. Wait 15 to 30 minutes and sponge with cool water. Wash.
Tip #2: You can also remove a blood stain from clothing by soaking the item in lukewarm water that contains ammonia. Add 3 tbsp. of ammonia per gallon of water.
Tip #3: Sprinkle table salt on blood stain and rub it in really well before washing.
Tip #4: When you get blood (or even stubborn spaghetti sauce!) on
your favorite blouse, simply soak the spot with Peroxide, rub a bit, let
set and it will simply vanish! You may want to test in an inconspicious
spot first, to make sure it doesn't bleach your fabric...Nelly
Tip #5: Pour hydrogen peroxide 3% solution on blood stain, it removes the
stain instantly. It will not damage the fabric.
Tip #6: My son got his 12 month shot and bled through the band aid
all over my new shirt. The nurse told me to use hydrogen peroxide
before I washed it. I did and had to wash it twice, but it got every bit
of blood out. I guess leave it to a nurse to know how to remove blood!...Marla
Tip #7: Rub area of stain with a wet bar of Ivory Soap and let sit
for 10 minutes. Launder as usual. I don't know why it works only that
it removed all the blood stains from his pillow case and sheets from
my husband's frequent nose bleeds...Linda
Tip #8: Try ESPRO SPORTS CLEANER. I use it to clean my sons' baseball & football uniforms but it works great on getting blood out of any fabric. Poultry plant workers use it to get chicken blood out of their work clothes. You can buy it at sporting good stores...Janet
Tip #9: I have taken two ice cubes from the refrigerator freezer and scrubbed the stain with the ice cubes, putting the blood stain directly between the ice cubes. Scrub with the edges of the ice cubes both sides of the fabric where the blood stain is located. If the stain is stubborn, I'll keep at it with two more ice cubes. Then rinse stain area under cold water and wash as usual. This has worked like a charm. So much so that I have shown my sons this process and they have used this method with great success!...Lele
