What is the best stain remover or detergent for getting rid of blood stains?


On a related note: What do you think of Biz vs. Oxyclean? Which of these 2 do you recommend & why?

Oxydizing agents like Chlorine or Peroxide don't remove blood stains. They just hide them by bleaching the stains until they are invisible.

* Fresh Blood stain removal -

1. Flush as much of the blood away in cold water.
2. Wash with any laundry powder in cold water (Temps >35 C or 95 F set blood stains).
3. Then rinse with cold water.

* Set blood stains (rust like contain iron)-
For congealed blood Phosphoric or Oxalic acid containing rust removers can be used to dissolve stains. Then rinse twice with warm water.

Good Luck!!

Try RoVer, Whink at the Home Depot. Report Abuse

Biz is an enzyme cleaner and will soak out blood (even set in). Really set in spots may take a second try. Always use cold water! I've been using Biz for 15 + years. It has saved a lot of clothes and fabric items. Report Abuse

Rinse the garment in cold water and pour peroxide on the stain...

I've found that Spray & Wash "Dual Power" works beautifully. We don't have Biz in Canada but I have good results with Oxyclean - if item(s) are soaked in it overnight.

hydrogen peroxide Just spray on blood and watch it bubble and eat the blood away. If it's a small stain let the spot soak in a bowl of hydrogen peroxide till stain is gone.

Soak in regular peroxide you use on small cuts works for me .If blood is not dry usually there is no problem . You may have to repeat rinse & do again

BAM.....and the dirt is gone.
