When it comes to cleaning blood from Nautica garments, good news is that it’s not impossible. The bad news is that blood stains can be particularly stubborn and tricky to remove. Your best bet for tackling that nasty spot is to act quickly.
Follow these steps to erase those blotches before they set in.
1. Neutralize the Stain ASAP
The first step to removing the bloodstain is to neutralize it. Start by blotting the spot with cold water. You can also mix cold water with a few drops of vinegar, a teaspoon of baking soda, or a bit of rubbing alcohol, depending on the fabric.
2. Pre-treat With a Stain Remover
Once you’ve blotted stain, pre-treat it with a stain remover. Gently apply the product onto affected area, taking care to avoid rubbing the area too much. Let it sit for around 15 minutes, or as directed on the label of the stain remover.
3. Launder as Normal
After pre-treating, you can then throw the garment into the washing machine. Use the warmest water setting safe for the fabric, and make sure to use detergent and fabric softener. Most Nautica garments can handle regular detergent, so there’s no need for any special products.
4. Check for Stains Before Drying
Once the laundering cycle is complete, take a look at the garment to make sure the stain is gone. If it remains, repeat the previous steps before drying garment. Heat will make the stain harder to remove, so never put a stained item in the dryer.
5. Check Care Label for Special Instructions
Your last stop before tackling a bloodstain on Nautica should always be the care label. Different fabrications may require special care instructions, like hand washing or a specific kind of detergent. Follow these instructions to letter to make sure your clothing lasts.
Conclusion
Getting rid of a bloodstain on Nautica clothes requires patience and some effort, but it’s worth it. Always check the care label before treating a stain and don’t skip any steps. With the right approach, you’ll be able to keep your Nautica clothes looking fresh and new.
