How to Remove Blood Stains

Whether it’s a trip in the playground or a tumble elsewhere, bumps and scrapes are an annoying fact of life that can end up putting your clothes at risk of stubborn stains.

It can be easy to panic when you see blood and but there’s no need to worry about getting those stains out. Whether it’s a recent stain or it’s old and dried into the fabric, simply use Resolve® and let blood stains be a problem of the past.

 

If you’ve got enough time, soak the affected garment first when it comes to tricky stains like blood, to allow the Resolve Oxi-Action® formula to really get to work and lift these tough stains away.

 

You can follow our instructions to get the best results when removing blood stains from a range of different fabrics.

 

To remove blood stains from all your garments, the secret is to always rinse the stain with cold water before soaking (as this helps the blood break down and dissolve). Warm or hot water will set the stain, making it harder to remove – not ideal!
