Thanks Alex Salt (in _cold_ water for a dried on stain - hot water will "set" the stain) is my usual first line of attack for bloodstains. Works fairly well on recent stains that haven't been through a hot wash
For a fresh (still wet) bloodstain, rubbing dry salt (gently!) onto the spot will soak up the blood, but don't forget to rinse well immediately in cold water (the salt itself is corrosive, not good for delicate fabrics if any is left in) Beth Alex Stillwell wrote: > Hi Arachnids > > IâEUR^(TM)m a little late replying and am surprised that on one mentioned > blood > stains should first be soaked in salt water, 1 teaspoon to 1 pint, preferably > immediately, but even if it has dried it helps to soften the stain. > > Hope it has all come out. > > Alex > - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.
