There is nothing worse than finding a blood stain on your clothes. They are among the most complex to remove. Sometimes, as soon as we find the method to dismiss them, we find the halo. Today we will reveal some tricks, through natural methods, on how to remove not only the stain, but also the halo.
Fresh blood stains: how to remove them
Blood stains can be divided into two types: fresh and dried. In the first case, which is the one we are going to represent, they are the easiest to remove; since the blood itself has not yet been completely absorbed by the tissues. The second case, that of the dried blood stain, becomes a little more complicated. First of all, we can immediately act on the fresh blood stain with very cold water. Simply place the garment under the tap, at the base of the blood patch and let the water flow as much as possible. In this phase it is advisable to bring the garment quite close to the tap and facilitate the flow of water, folding the garment to encourage blood to drain out of the fabric. It is important to always treat with cold water; since hot water tends to set the stain even more on the garment, causing it to adhere and set to the fibers. If cold water has not produced the desired results, it will be advisable to resort to other methods.
How to treat dried blood stains
Dried blood stains are always difficult to treat. Naturally, nothing prevents us from using cold water, as we have already seen, but in general it becomes much more complicated. A blood stain is discovered even after a few days and often by accident. In this case the fibers of the fabric have already absorbed it. So how to proceed? Without fear! Our dress can be saved through some natural methods. Let’s see which ones:
Carbonated water/carbonated water
The hydrogen peroxide or carbonated water element is favored for two reasons. First of all, the presence of bubbles in both elements facilitates the dissolution of blood because they penetrate deeply. The presence of oxygen activates the removal of blood from the tissues. Secondly, it is easy to find a bottle of carbonated water or hydrogen peroxide as we can easily find them in the bag and use them at the right time, especially when we are out and about.
Baking soda/dish soap
Baking soda is also a great item that can be used to treat blood stains. Just moisten a teaspoon of baking soda and rub it on the stain. Allow the compound to dry on the patch and then wash normally with cold water. In the absence of baking soda, we can use dishwashing detergent in the same way.
