The first step to removing stain is to rinse it in cold water. Do this as soon as possible after discovering the stain, as it will make it easier to remove later on. Let the stain soak in the cold water for a few minutes before attempting to remove it.
Once you've soaked it in cold water, the next step is to create a paste out of detergent and baking soda. Use just enough of each to form a paste-like consistency, then apply it to the stained area and let it sit for a few minutes.
After the paste mixture has had a chance to penetrate stain, use an old toothbrush or other scrubbing brush to scrub area until stain is removed. Once you're done scrubbing, rinse the area with cold water to ensure all the detergent and baking soda has been removed.
To help get rid of odors or any potential bacteria that may have been left behind from the stain, use a mixture of vinegar and water (about 1 part vinegar to 4 parts water) and dab it onto the area. Make sure to rinse it off with cold water afterwards.
And there you have it--four easy steps to remove those pesky blood stains from your sweatshirt. Even if you're faced with most stubborn of stains, these methods will help you get them out quickly and easily.
