How do you get blood out of bed sheets?

Answer 1

When blood is fresh, you can remove most of it using cold water and shampoo, since blood is protein and shampoo is designed to clean away protein. You can also use a commercial stain remover labeled for removing blood stains.

A longer soak in cold water may be required, with another scrubbing -- rub the sheet together between your curled index fingers -- to remove it all.

If the blood is dried, you may need to use bleach, but on other than a white bed sheet, this will also remove the colour.

Another answer

Fairly simple, Dial soap! Simply wet the stain, rub the soap into the stain (old yellow bar Dial, not the newer stuff), scrub for a couple of seconds and rinse. Wash as usual in your regular wash.

Answer 2

To remove blood from bed sheets, soak the stained area in cold water for at least 30 minutes. Then, apply a mixture of detergent and water directly to the stain and gently scrub. Launder the sheets in cold water and air dry to prevent setting the stain.
