Hot water acts as a coagulant,  which causes it to concentrate and adhere more to the surface and makes cleaning more difficult. Likewise, dried blood, although it seems easier to clean, is not. With blood,  the sooner we act, the greater the chances of success.

In any tissue, speed is the key to the effectiveness of any method of blood cleansing. And it is important  to treat the garment before cleaning it  because it can get stuck to the clothes.

For regular clothing, which is not delicate, the most effective thing is to soak it in cold water and soap it, rubbing the area well so that it does not become rolled up.

Toothpaste

If it is a delicate piece of fabric (such as a silk blouse or dress), it is best to forget about hydrogen peroxide. We could  run the risk of burning our heads  . For this type of fabric,  the most recommended is classic toothpaste, without additives or colorants.

Therefore, it is applied directly to the affected area and edges, letting it dry and then rinsing well with cold water. It should only be rubbed when the garment has finally been washed.

If you are not at home, try wetting the stain with  very cold sparkling water,  we will solve the problem before you get home.

Coarse salt

Coarse salt  to remove blood stains  can also be used on dark clothing such as jeans. If the stain is recent, a good trick is to wash it with water and salt by soaking the garment in cold water to which we add a little coarse salt.
