Removing Blood Stains |

What is the quickest, most economical way to completely get the set-in blood stains out of my cotton bedding? Dark purple sheets, cream covers, and white mattress pad.
Thank You,

RE: Removing Blood Stains
A spray bottle of raw bleach sprayed on some types of carpet will remove blood without taking color out (use a test spot first).

Don't let anyone fool you.....yes I have used peroxide, straight from the bottle, and it worked, til last week Thursday. I got blood on a white sweatshirt. After numerous applications of peroxide, I even soaked the area in bleach---to no avail, there is still a lite brownish hue to the spots where the blood was. I've found out that this can be due to medications that are in your bloodstream!

I haven't had a chance to see how well this works with set in stains, but a person's saliva will dissolve their own blood. Depending on the amount of blood this may or may not be realistic, but if you have the owner of the blood spit on the spot and scrub it, as if you were using a cleaner, it will dissolve the stain. It sounds gross, I know, but it works! :)

I use peroxide, straight. When it stops foaming, add some more, repeat a few times, then launder as usual.

Request: Removing Blood Stains
Archived on 12/27/2006
Blood stains are set by hot water so soak the item in cold water and then launder it. If the item is non-washable, sponge on cold water and a mild laundry or dish soap.

An old hospital trick is to use Hydorgen Peroxide on the stain. Sometimes even if the stain is old it will get it out. (11/18/2004)

Soaking Blood stained clothing in cold water and then laundering works well for fresh Blood stains. If the Blood has dried or set you will need to soak the item in enzyme based detergent for as long as possible before laundering. I use "Nappy San Plus" for removing a wide variety of tough stains as it is safe to use on most fabrics and coloursafe items and it is very effective. (11/19/2004)

I agree, the best thing for removing old blood stains (or fresh) is straight hydrogen peroxide! It's cheap and works even if you have previously washed and dried an item!!! (11/26/2004)

RE: Removing Blood Stains
If you have a blood stain on any kind of fabric just spray it with cold water and then sprinkle salt liberally over the stain. Give it a bit of time to dry and when it is just a little damp rub the salt over the stain with very strong solid circular motions. Then let the salt dry completely and shake the salt off. The stain should have disappeared or at least faded. Sometimes it needs to be done a few times. Even soaking it in salty water works as long as you allow normal drying time rather than using a dryer but i find placing salt on the stain works best. (11/05/2006)
