What You’ll Need
- Cold water
- Mild detergent
- Hydrogen peroxide
- White cloth
- Fresh towel
Instructions
- Begin by immediately soaking the affected area with cold water. This will prevent the blood from setting deeper into the fabric.
- Mix together a solution of mild detergent and hydrogen peroxide. Make sure to use equal parts and to test the solution on a small part of fabric that isn’t visible before applying.
- Using a white cloth, apply the solution to the stain. Move the cloth in a circular motion, gently rubbing the stain. If the stain doesn’t appear to be visibly fading, reapply more solution as needed.
- Rinse with cold water and pat dry with a fresh towel.
- Finally, hang up item in a dry, well-ventilated area to dry thoroughly.
Tips
- Always test a small area of fabric before using any chemical cleaning solutions.
- Avoid using hot or warm water, as this could cause the blood to set permanently.
- If the stain still won’t come out, consider taking the item to a professional cleaner.
- Be mindful of any warnings listed on the cleaning solution.
