Because of the tendency of blood stains to set in as time passes, the most important thing you can do is blot the stain immediately. The more you can remove and the faster you can remove it, the better it is going to be later. A mixture of dish soap and hydrogen peroxide on a clean sponge makes an ideal blotter.
If the garment is going to be dry cleaned, take it to the dry cleaners as quickly as possible.
If you are going to use your washing machine, use cold water. Detergents with stain removing additives like Oxy Clean work well. It is very important that you air dry the garment after the first wash cycle. Heat accelerates the coagulation, and will cause the stain to set. Make sure the stain is completely gone before drying it with heat. Several wash cycles might be needed.How to get a period stain out of a bed's fitted sheet?
Hydrogen peroxide. Put some with a rag on the spot and rub the two sides of the sheet together to loosen the stain. It works a lot more effectively than just trying to scrub at it.
soak the stain in cold water, spray with a detergent booster like spray and wash and wash as usual. soaking in cold water is the key, soak for at least twenty minutes.
A wet washcloth and soap.
Hope this helped :)
Do you have Vanish stain remover or in wash powder? Ideally blood should be soaked in cool water immediately. Try putting it on a hot wash with Vanish.
Hydrogen peroxide works great on blood stains.........that is if you haven't already washed the sheets. If so, try anyway.
Rub some stain treater or laundry detergent into it before you go, then wash it when you get home.
just wash it with hand soap under running water. it's much easier to do if the stain isn't dry yet
put it in the washer on cold
