How To Remove Blood Stains From Fabric

Blood stains can get on clothing from anything. Whether its an accident, a nose bleed, a cut, or blood from meat, sometimes, blood may just end up on your clothing. However, this does not have to be the last of your clothes. There are many methods that will completely remove blood stains out of your fabric.

What You'll Need:

Laundry Detergent, Salt, Sponge,Stain Remover, Bleach (Optional)

1. As soon as blood hits your fabric, use a regular or a paper towel to pat it dry. Do not rub the towel back and forth because you do not want the blood to spread in other places.

2. Add salt onto the stain. The salt will immediately soak up and dry up the blood stain. However, this will not remove the stain completely.

3. Add your stain remover to the blood stain. Let it sit for the right amount of time as indicated on the bottle before removing.

4. If stain still persist, wet your sponge. Add laundry detergent to the sponge and scrub the blood stain until it is completely clean.
