7 Ways to Get Rid of Blood Stains

• Never use hot water on blood stain as it makes the stain more rigid. Always try to soak the stained material in cold water and remove as much of it as possible.


• If there is stain on a material, try not to rub it as it will only smudge the stain and make it spread further, making it even more difficult to clean.

7 Ways to Get Rid of Blood Stains Include:

• Use of Cola: Have you ever thought how useful cola could be to us other than simply drinking. Soak the blood stain in a generous amount of cola overnight and loosen the stain. Further wash it dry in the morning to remove the stain completely.

• Use of Cornstarch: You need to make a mixture of cornstarch and water. Leave it thick and paste-like. Put a thick coating on the fabric that has stained and let it sun-dry for some time. After that you can brush off the excess amounts of cornstarch from the surface of the fabric. The stain should fade considerably at first. Repeat the process a couple of times to get a better result and remove the blood stain completely.

• Cold Water and Salt: As already mentioned cold water is a good idea for blood stain removal. You can make a solution of cold water and salt to improve the effectiveness of it further. Soak the carpet or simply fabric in the cold salt water for a few hours and then normally wash the material with detergent and water.

• Hydrogen Peroxide: Hydrogen peroxide is also known to be able to remove blood stains from fabrics. You can apply a small strength of Hydrogen peroxide on the stain directly and then wash it off after a couple of minutes. This process can be followed by normally washing the fabric with detergent.

• Vinegar: You can effectively use strong white vinegar to remove blood stains. Pour a solution of white vinegar and water on the stain directly and leave it for 15 to 20 minutes. Then blot the area dry to see the best results.

• Ammonia: You can dab ammonia solution in 1:1 ratio to remove blood stains from fabrics before you wash them with detergent.

• Talcum powder: This is the most easily available product to remove blood stains from fabrics. You can simply pour some talcum powder on the stain and leave it for some time. After the stain has soaked up, brush off the excess talcum powder. This will generally fade away the blood stain from the carpet.
