Blood is a tough stain, especially if it is not treated while the stain is still fresh. So to remove it effectively, it needs to be pre-treated. One of the most effective solution to remove blood from clothes is Ariel powder So follow the instructions below and get rid of those pesky blood stains in the 1st go.
A bit of red in your outfit can be a good thing, but when it comes from your blood and is smeared on your favourite blouse, it’s definitely not a good thing. Salt is the old favourite to lift blood stains from fabric and your favourite garments, but at Ariel we prefer a different method that doesn’t involve experimenting. Watch our step by step guide on how to get rid of blood stains from clothing, or read the instructions below.
Removing blood stains
Remove excess
Rinse the blood stained garment under cold running water to remove any excess blood. The higher the water pressure, the easier it will be to remove any excess.
Prepare a Soaking Solution
Next, pre-treat the blood stained garment. Fill a sink or bucket with warm water and add half a scoop of Ariel Washing Powder. Mix the solution by hand until the detergent is completely dissolved.
Soak
Add your blood stained garments to the solution and leave to soak for an hour. If the stained garment keeps floating to the top, place a white towel on top of it to keep it fully immersed in the soaking solution.
Preparing for wash
Gently wring out the excess water before adding it to your wash with similar items.
Dose
Add detergent based on the instructions on your pack.
Wash
Load your garment into the washing machine with other, similar items and wash on your usual cycle, at the highest temperature shown on the care label.
Unload
After the wash cycle is complete, unload the garments immediately.
