Instructions for Removing Bloodstains from Tracksuits

  1. Put the tracksuit in cold water: Soak the stained portion of the tracksuit in cold water for between 15 minutes and 1 hour.
  2. Treat with a stain remover: Apply a stain-removing detergent or a laundry pre-treater containing enzymes to the stained area.
  3. Wash the tracksuit: Wash the item in a regular cycle using warmest water that is safe for the fabric.
  4. Inspect and re-treat if needed: Check the stain before drying; if necessary, re-treat and repeat the process until the stain is gone.
  5. 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.
