Below are a few steps you can follow to make the process of removing blood a lot easier and your bed sheets a lot cleaner in the end-

• Step 1: Use cold water and soak it As soon as you see the bloodstain, take the sheet and soak it in cold water for long hours. You may use warm or hot water to remove stains or dirt from your clothes. But in the case of blood, using warm water will set the blood stain leading to difficulty in removing the blood from the cloth. So soaking in cold water for long hours will stop the blood from settling on the fabric.
• Step 2: Blot it, don’t rub Rubbing is a usual method we use to remove any stain from clothes. It might work in almost all situations. But when there is blood on the sheet, rubbing might spread the blood over the fabric. It will be a mess ultimately. So instead, blot the blood with a wet cloth. It helps to remove the excess blood.
• Step 3: Leave it again in cold water After blotting the sheet, you have to leave the sheet in cold water for at least an hour. It helps to remove the blood more quickly as the stain becomes light.
• Step 4: Use stain remover It’s now time to apply a stain remover after soaking it in cold water. You can use household as well as commercial stain removers. Before using the stain remover, you must check, it is bleach free or not. Though bleaching helps in removing the stain, fabrics including acetate, wool, silk, spandex, and polypropylene foam should not be bleached. Furthermore, the overuse of bleach in a white sheet on a regular basis might deteriorate the fabric. So, you should avoid bleach as a stain remover.
• Step 5: Soak in a soap solution. You need to soak in the soap solution for long hours after using a stain remover. It helps to remove the remaining blood in the sheet.
• Step 6: Wash it out and let it dry. The last step of the whole process is to wash the sheet manually or with a washing machine and let it dry. Instead of using a dryer, place the bedsheet in the sun or in front of a fan. The stain can get uglier if you use the dryer.
