Removing bloodstains from fabric is not as difficult as it seems. The most important thing to keep in mind is to act quickly afterwards, as longer you wait, harder it is to get rid of the stain. Here is an easy method to remove the stains from your garter.

Step 1: Soak Garter in Cold Water

The first step is to soak the garter in cold water. Make sure it is submerged completely. This will help loosen up any dried-up blood and make it easier to remove. Let the garter soak for at least 20 minutes.

Step 2: Use Baking Soda

After soaking the garter in cold water, create a thick paste using baking soda and water. Apply paste directly over the stain and let it sit for 10 minutes. Once it has dried up, gently scrub the stained area in a circular motion with a soft sponge or cloth. This will help remove any leftover blood.

Step 3: Launder the Garter

Once you have removed the stain, launder the garment in cold water according to the care instructions. It is always best to use a mild detergent while cleaning delicate fabrics.

Additional Tips

  • If you are short on time, fill a spray bottle with cold water and spray the stained area directly. Then scatter some salt over the stain and leave it for ten minutes. This will help draw out any excess fluids.
  • For tough stains, mix equal parts of hydrogen peroxide and liquid dish soap and apply directly to the stain. Allow it to sit for 10 minutes and then rinse off with cold water.
  • Do not use hot water when washing the garter, as this will cause the stain to set in. Hot water can also damage the delicate fabric.
  • Always hang dry the garter after washing as tumble drying may cause shrinkage.

With these easy steps, you can make sure your garter looks as good as new!
