Step 1: Scrape off Excess Blood

Using a blunt knife, begin by scraping off any dried blood that has hardened onto the surface of the umbrella. Make sure to use gentle motions and scrape only the dried material.

Step 2: Soak Umbrella in Cold Water

Fill a basin or washtub with cold water and submerge the umbrella for about 10-15 minutes. This will give the water enough time to loosen the remaining blood spots.

Step 3: Rub with a Soap Solution

Create a soapy solution with a few drops of dish soap and cold water. Use a soft cloth or sponge to rub the soapy solution into the stained area. Once you have scrubbed entire area, rinse it off with cold water.

Step 4: Apply Hydrogen Peroxide

Hydrogen peroxide is an effective way to remove blood stains. Pour a few drops directly onto stained area and then use an old toothbrush to spread it around. Let the hydrogen peroxide sit for a few minutes before rinsing it off with cold water.

Step 5: Dry and Repeat

Once excess blood has been removed, allow the umbrella to air dry. If the stain persists, repeat the steps above until the stain is completely gone.

Conclusion

With a little bit of patience, restoring an umbrella with a blood stain is possible. Just follow these simple steps and you'll be able to enjoy a dried, stain-free umbrella.
