Removing blood stains

How to remove a blood stain?

Ah, blood stains... they always appear at the worst possible moment, and we often think they are impossible to remove. But don't panic! With the right steps, you can easily remove blood stains without stress and preserve your favorite clothes. In this article, discover how to remove a blood stain effectively and hassle-free. Follow our simple tips to restore your clothes to their original appearance, effortlessly.

Why is it difficult to remove a blood stain?

Blood contains proteins that coagulate when exposed to air or heat, sticking firmly to fabric fibers. This makes them difficult to clean, especially if the stain has had time to dry. But don't panic: with the right approach and a suitable product, nothing is irreversible.

How to remove a blood stain step by step

1. Act quickly

The motto? No time to waste! The longer a stain stays on the fabric, the more it sets in. So, as soon as you notice a blood stain, act immediately.

2. Cold water is your best ally

Immediately rinse the stain under cold water. Why cold? Because hot water can cook the proteins in the blood, sealing them even more into the fabric. If the stain is recent, this will often be enough to remove most of it.

3. The ideal product: Dr. Beckmann Stain Remover

This is where the magic happens. This product is specially formulated to break down blood proteins and other related stains (such as eggs or sweat). Here's how to use it for flawless results:

  • Apply a generous amount of the product directly to the stain.
  • Leave it to work for 10 to 15 minutes. Have a coffee, take a breather... the product is working for you.
  • Rinse thoroughly with cold water, then machine wash the garment as usual.

Its precise applicator tip prevents waste and targets only the stain. No more scrubbing like crazy, which can damage your fabrics.

4. A final wash to remove everything

Once the stain has been treated, wash the fabric according to the instructions on the label. And above all, do not put the garment in the dryer until the stain has completely disappeared, as this may set it permanently.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Avoid hot water: As you can imagine, this is the number one mistake.
  • Do not rub vigorously: This can spread the stain and damage the fabric.
  • Do not read the care instructions: Always check that the product is compatible with your fabrics, especially the most delicate ones.
