Instructions
- Gently scrape off any excess dried blood with a spoon.
- Mix one teaspoon of liquid, non-bleach laundry detergent in two cups of cold water.
- Soak a clean washcloth in the detergent solution, then place it over the stain.
- Let the cloth sit for 5-10 minutes before rinsing it and blotting the stain with a dry cloth.
- If the stain still remains, mix ¼ teaspoon of ammonia with one cup of cold water, and apply to stain.
- Once again, let it sit for 5-10 minutes before blotting with a dry cloth.
- If the stain is still not removed, add hydrogen peroxide to a cotton ball and dab it onto stain.
- Once the stain is gone, rinse the peroxide off and launder as usual.
Tips
- If there are more than one person handling the stain, use separate cloths to prevent cross-contamination.
- Always test a small, hidden area of the fabric first prior to cleaning in order to make sure the cleaning method will not damage the material.
- Do not rub the stained area as it may spread it even further.
- Be sure to rinse the area thoroughly after the cleaning to prevent residue from causing a different type of stain.
