Tricks: How to get blood stains

Las hemorragias nasales o los periodos menstruales son episodios comunes que suelen provocar manchas de sangre en la ropa. Lo peor, aparte de ver una prenda teñida por ese rojo intenso, es que cuando se lavan mal queda un manchón café oscuro, y aunque siempre está la esperanza que en el siguiente lavado esa mácula se difumine, es probable que nunca vaya a salir.

If you intend to trust your detergent to do this miraculous work, you can do it and pray to your saints.But you can also choose to take care of it with other methods, not only when the stain is fresh, but also when it has glued some time with this cleaning trick.

As a first fact, we can assure that whenever you face a blood stain, it prefers cold water, because hot can contribute to fix the fabric.

After searching, reading and instructing in this type of spots, we arrive at the Lavandería y Tintorer Mr blog.Jeff, in which they explain that the traditional thing is to soak the fabric in cold water with soap - so that the stain can soften - and then let stand for 15 minutes.Then they advise to review and, if necessary, repeat the process once again.Then, you have to wash the garment with other clothes in the washing machine, as you do.

If this did not work, Mr.Jeff has another trick: a miraculous combination of ammonia and hydrogen peroxide."We mix a spoonful of ammonia with half a glass of hydrogen peroxide, so that both elements are integrated well," they suggest in the blog.

The mixture must be applied on the stain, hopefully through a spray, and rub it with a toothbrush.After standing for 5 minutes, you have to rinse the area, and then it is ready to be traditionally washed next to the other garments.

According to Mr.Jeff, although this trick is effective, does not work for all garments."We must not use this mixture of ammonia and water in delicate tissues, such as silk or puppy," he says.They also warn that "it is very important.

Normally, an old blood stain, already dry and brown, can be a headache.But no more!On the Spanish site Clara explain that hydrogen peroxide is one of the most effective home tools to get rid of spots, and it is precisely the star product to eliminate that of dry blood.

"The reason is that it eliminates microorganisms by oxidation, that is, the" burning "in some way, and also bleaches clothes," they explain on the site.

The first thing you should do is apply hydrogen percycle to La Mancha.If it is a more delicate fabric, you must make a solution with a part of hydrogen peroxide and another with keywater.It is left to act for two minutes on the fabric, so that the tissue softens and whites the stain.

The next step is to soak the garment in cold water, without refreshing the stain.The idea is to keep soften and not expand it at least for an hour.

After soaking, you must apply a little neutral soap on the place where the stain was and referee to finish eliminating it.Then you must wash the garment as usual in the washing machine and after that it should have gone forever from this world.

We find precisely the same clear process, put into practice by the YouTuber "The Vicky tricks".You can see the entire previous process in this video below:
