Instructions for Removing Bloodstains from Tracksuits
- Put the tracksuit in cold water: Soak the stained portion of the tracksuit in cold water for between 15 minutes and 1 hour.
- Treat with a stain remover: Apply a stain-removing detergent or a laundry pre-treater containing enzymes to the stained area.
- Wash the tracksuit: Wash the item in a regular cycle using warmest water that is safe for the fabric.
- Inspect and re-treat if needed: Check the stain before drying; if necessary, re-treat and repeat the process until the stain is gone.
- Dry the tracksuit: Dry the item in a medium-heat machine dryer or let it air dry.
Tips for Preventing Bloodstains
- Apply pressure on affected area: Ask somebody to apply pressure to the affected area shortly after the accident to help prevent stain from becoming permanent.
- Check the tag: Read the care instructions on fabric tag on your tracksuit to determine the best way to clean it.
- Do not use hot water: Hot water can set stains, making them harder to remove.
