Method for thoroughly cleaning blood stains on clothes
Method 1: Wash fresh blood stains
1. Rinse the blood-stained clothes under cold water. This is the easiest way to wash blood stains. The earlier you find that blood is stained on your clothes, the more effective this method will be. If the carpet, mattress or other large furniture that cannot be rinsed is stained with blood, then use a clean rag or sponge to scrub. Never use hot water — — that will only make the blood stains more stubbornly leave on the clothing fibers.
2. Next try using hydrogen peroxide. This method is only effective for fresh blood stains. Before using hydrogen peroxide, you should know that its bleaching effect may cause damage or fading of the fabric, which may also cause stains. Therefore, please use it with caution. You can try it on a small corner where your clothes are inconspicuous. It is miraculous to clean blood stains on the surface of porous concrete with hydrogen peroxide.
Operation steps: a. Pour hydrogen peroxide directly on the blood stain. If the fabric is delicate, please add 50% water to dilute it. Don't let the foam spread to areas without blood.
b. Add hydrogen peroxide again and again until the chemical reaction slows down and the foam gradually solidifies.
c. Wipe off the foam with a rag, pour a little hydrogen peroxide until the blood stains completely disappear or are almost invisible.
d. Rinse the laundry with cold water and supplement with soap or detergent.
e. If hydrogen peroxide is not used for the clothes in advance, you can soak the whole piece of clothing in hydrogen peroxide and let it sit for 15 to 20 minutes. Then take out the clothes and rinse them in cold water.
3. Use salt water to clean delicate clothes. Move quickly — — while the blood stains have not been completely absorbed by the material, the faster you use salt water, the better. It is very effective to rub large objects such as mattresses that cannot be washed in water with dipped salt particles.
Operation steps: a. Rinse the blood stains in cold water. If it is running water, it is best to put the blood stains under the faucet and rinse them with cold water, so that most of the blood stains can be washed away. If it is blood stains on carpets or large furniture, mix ice with water into a bowl or bucket and use a rag or sponge to scrub the blood stains.
b. Scrub the laundry in cold water to see if it can wash away more blood stains. If you scrub it within 10 to 15 minutes of blood staining, you will likely wash it clean with cold water alone. But if you can still see blood marks after scrubbing, try adding some salt.
c. Wet a small handful of salt completely. The size of this brine mixture depends on the size of the blood stain, and its size should completely cover the blood stain.
d. Use this brine mixture to rub the blood stains. The abrasiveness and dehydration of the salt particles themselves will release blood stains in the clothing more quickly.
e. Rinse the salt with cold water to see if the blood stains have been completely washed away.
f. When the blood stains have been completely washed, you just need to wash the clothes with washing powder as usual.
g. If this is a free laundry, continue to rinse the blood and salt particles with cold water.
4. If you cannot find hydrogen peroxide or salt in a public restroom outside, try using soap to wash the blood stains. Apply soap or shampoo instead of salt water and rub it directly on the blood stain. If you are washing carpets, mattresses or large furniture, remember not to use too much soap, otherwise it will be difficult to rinse the foam.
Operation steps: a. Soak the blood stains in cold water.
b. Apply appropriate amount of soap or shampoo to the blood stain.
c. Hold both sides of the blood stain with both hands and scrub hard.
d. Scrub out a lot of foam. If necessary, add water.
e. Rinse with cold water several times until the blood stains and foam are rinsed.
5. Try to wash stubborn blood stains with ammonia. Mix 1 tablespoon of ammonia water into 1/2 cup cold water and pour the mixture over a stubborn blood stain. After the blood stains disappear, rinse them with cold water. Do not use ammonia on linen, silk or wool clothing.
Method 2: Washing dry blood stains
1. Use toothpaste to clean clothes and bed sheets. This method is best used only on clothes that can be put into the washing machine or started washing. If you use toothpaste on carpets, blankets or large furniture, the residual toothpaste odor may not be removed.
Operation steps:
a. Apply toothpaste on the blood stain.
b, Wait for the toothpaste to dry up.
c. Rinse the toothpaste with cold water.
d. Use soap to scrub the blood stains and rinse with cold water. If necessary, you can repeat it several times.
2. Use tender meat powder to clean the sturdy fabric. Blood and meat are organic substances that can react with enzymes such as proteases, cellulases and lipases. The unprocessed tender meat powder sold outside is very effective in cleaning dry blood stains. Detergent and dishwashing agents all contain these enzymes.
This method is suitable for cleaning solid clothing such as jeans, but is not suitable for cleaning delicate clothing. Do not use enzymes to clean linen, silk and wool clothing. These enzyme-containing products break down proteins, which damage protein-containing clothing such as flax and wool.
Operation steps: a. Pour 1 cup of cold water into a small bowl.
b. Soak the stained part in cold water.
c. Sprinkle 1 spoon of enzyme-containing products on the wet area.
d, let stand for 1 day. Every few hours, rub the blood stains with your hands to allow the enzyme to be absorbed better.
e, then clean the laundry according to the general procedures.
3. Use saliva to clean delicate clothing. Saliva can also effectively remove blood stains, because the enzymes in saliva that help digest food can also break down proteins in the blood, and it is these proteins that make blood stains difficult to remove. Note that this method is only suitable for very small blood stains.
Operation steps: a. Gather some saliva in your mouth.
b. Apply saliva to the blood stain.
c. Rub gently.
d. Immerse in cold water and rinse.
Method 3: Washing blood stains on special surfaces
1. Clean blood stains on satin. Satin is a very delicate fabric, so it should be treated with caution. Gentle cleaning methods, such as salt and cold water, can effectively remove blood stains, especially fresh ones.
2. Clean blood stains on solid wood floors. Solid wood floors with wax or coated with urethane and polyurethane protective layers can effectively avoid moisture, wear and dirt. In most cases, you can clean the blood stains on it by dipping it with a rag with a water-soluble/ordinary household cleaner.
3. Clean the blood stains on the mattress. You can't stuff the entire mattress into the washing machine, so no matter what method is used, it's best to keep the cleaning area under the best level to use a small ball of salt water mixture. You don't want to make the entire mattress wet.
4. Clean blood stains on the concrete surface. The concrete surface is porous, so the blood will penetrate deeper and be difficult to clean. Chemical methods can effectively remove blood stains on concrete surfaces.
5. Clean blood stains on the carpet. There are several ways to clean blood stains on the carpet, but I suggest you try it from the gentlest method (i.e., cold water washing) and then use a powerful method to deal with stubborn blood stains.
6. Clean blood stains on the jeans. Cold water can effectively wash fresh blood stains on jeans, but to wash dry blood stains, you need to use other daily necessities, such as salt, ammonia and baking soda.
7. Clean the blood stains on silk cloth. Only the gentlest methods such as salt water, saliva and dishwashing liquid can be used to clean blood stains on washable silk fabrics. Never use ammonia and other chemicals as they can damage the fabric.
