Should I use hot or cold water?

It depends on the fabric of the blouse. Hot water should not be used on delicate fabrics like silk or wool. Always check the tag of your garment before laundering.

What laundry detergent is best to use?

Any laundry detergent should work for treating a blood stain, but an enzyme-based detergent is most effective. These detergents contain components capable of breaking down blood proteins and will result in better cleaning results.

Step 1: Pretreat the Stain

The first thing you should do is attempt to pretreat the stain by blotting it with a cloth soaked in cold water. Blot the area to get rid of as much of the blood as possible. You can also use laundry detergent and dab it onto stain. Rub the detergent into the fabric in a gentle motion and rinse the excess liquid with a damp cloth.

Step 2: Make a Paste

Create a paste with 3 parts cold water and 1 part salt. Mix the two together until you have a thick paste. Spread the paste over the stain and leave it for at least 15 minutes. After the paste has had time to dry, use a brush to brush away paste from the garment.

Step 3: Wash Garment

Once the paste has been removed, put the garment into the washing machine. Make sure to use the hottest water setting that is safe for the fabric. After the wash is complete, hang the garment or lay it flat to dry.
