Gather the Right Supplies
Before attempting to remove a blood stain from tartan fabric, it’s important to make sure you have the necessary supplies. You will need a bowl of warm water, a gentle laundry detergent, white vinegar, and a clean, white cloth.
Pre-treat Stain
Before washing fabric, it is important to pre-treat the stain to ensure that it will be removed as much as possible during the laundering process. To pre-treat the stain, mix one tablespoon of white vinegar with two tablespoons of warm water. Dip the white cloth into the solution and gently blot the area to pre-treat the stain.
Wash the Fabric
Once the stain has been pre-treated, it is time to wash the fabric. Fill a clean bowl with warm water and add a small amount of gentle laundry detergent. Soak the fabric for about 30 minutes, then carefully rub the stained area with your fingers. Rinse the fabric thoroughly and launder according to the care instructions.
Dry Fabric
Once fabric has been washed and rinsed, it is important to dry it properly to prevent discoloration. Lay the fabric flat on a clean towel and gently pat down with another dry towel. Allow it to air dry completely before using or storing it.
Repeat as Necessary
If the stain is still present after washing, repeat the pre-treatment and laundering steps until the stain is gone. If the stain persists, it may be best to seek professional assistance.
