Step-By-Step Instructions to Clean Blood off Parka
- Mix a solution of equal parts cold water and dish soap.
- Gently blot the stain with a cloth dampened with the solution.
- Continue to blot until the stain is gone.
- Rinse the area with a cloth dipped in clean cold water.
- Allow the parka to air dry or use a blow drier to dry it.
Other Tips to Work the Stain Out
- For tougher stains, soak the parka in cold water for about an hour before attempting to clean the stain.
- If the stain is particularly difficult to remove, mix a solution of one teaspoon each of liquid ammonia, white vinegar, and dish soap and apply it directly to the stain. Allow it to sit for 15 minutes before rinsing.
- For silk or wool parkas, substitute rubbing alcohol for the liquid ammonia.
Additional Tips to Keep Your Parka Looking Good
- Try to keep your parka away from direct sunlight as much as possible to prevent fading.
- Be sure to never use a washing machine or dryer, as this can damage the material or cause shrinkage.
- Spot clean with a cloth dampened with cold water and a mild detergent when necessary.
- Always use a hangar or other flat surface to air-dry your parka rather than a clothesline or hanger.
