Step 1: Pre-Treat Stained Area
Blood stains can be much harder to remove than other types of dirt and grime, so it’s important to pre-treat the area before trying to tackle it. To do this, use an enzyme laundry pre-treatment spray or liquid detergent on area before washing. This will help break down the proteins in the blood and make them easier to get out.
Step 2: Soak Fabric in Cold Water
Once you pre-treat the area, the next step is to soak the fabric in cold water. You should add a teaspoon of detergent to the water and let it soak for at least 30 minutes. This will help to further lift the stain from fabric.
Step 3: Rinse and Wash With Detergent
After you’ve given the fabric some time to soak, you can rinse it off and then wash it using normal detergent in the washing machine. It’s important to use warm water and the gentle cycle to ensure that fabric isn’t damaged.
Step 4: Check Results and Repeat if Necessary
Once the washing cycle is finished, you should check the results to see if the stain has been completely removed. If it hasn’t, you can repeat steps 2 and 3 until you get the desired results.
Step 5: Dry the Fabric
Once you’ve successfully removed the stain, you can dry the fabric either in the dryer or air drying it. It’s important to make sure that fabric is completely dry before wearing it again.
Conclusion
Cleaning blood stains from fabric can be a tricky process, but following these steps can ensure that your jersey looks as good as new. Doing a pre-treatment and soaking the fabric in cold water before washing can really help to lift the stain from the fabric.
