Hello!

I’m looking for what works best on removing blood from fabrics? It’s old and has been washed on only cold loads previously.


Want more real mum questions sent to you?

  • Napisan has always worked for my family. Not sure if I have used it on blood stains though


  • Try Aldi stain remover and sard wonder soap my mum learnt this trick from my nan when I had white school uniforms and makeup stains all around the collar it always worked a treat and brought them out like brand new again hope that helps good luck !


  • Get onto Clean Cloth Nappy (website and facebook)! Scientific based advice on many stains. While it’s originally for how to clean MCN (modern cloth nappies) it’s expanded to cover many other laundry questions, tried and tested with scientific explanations added in most cases. Their website is a mandatory resource for me beyond the nappy stage. They even have washing machine and powder reviews.


  • Have you tried Vanish or Napisan?


  • If nothing else has worked, you could try OMO Ultimate. Usually blood will come out with cold water and sunlight soap, but if it’s previously been washing and is really in the fabric, it may need something stronger. If possible keep it wet and don’t let it dry out.


  • Sard wonder soap bar. hear the stick works well too. definitely cold water only


  • Sard soap bar! Works on about anything lol
    Maybe give that a go


  • I was in a hospital and got blood all over my white cotton shirt the nurse came to me with a spray bottle of Windex window cleaner and said this really works. So I took it to the bathroom and sprayed my shirt and waited 10 minutes and washed it out in cold water. IT REALLY WORKED! I have since used it on a carpet stained with blood. Who Knew!


  • Do a strip wash by putting it in the bathtub with hot water, 1/4 cup borax, 1/4 cup washing soda and half cup washing detergent. Stir every half our till water is cool.


  • I find dynamo liquid excellent, poor a little on the stain, leave it to soak overnight with a little more dynamo in the water, and then give it a bit more of a scrub with Sard soap if needed.


  • Baking soda with vinegar. It might helps


  • Have you tried baking soda with Aldi stain remover spray? Mix it together in a bowl and apply it to the stain and let it sit for a while then wash normally in cold water


  • Sard wonder soap bar has always been a go to for me. have heard the stick one is good too.


  • Sard is what works best for us too, try it in the soap variety, much better value for money


  • Is it something you could get dry cleaned, since cold water hasn’t worked?


  • Try the Aldi stain removal spray and soaking the clothing.. I find the sooner you do this the easier the stain is to get out


  • I use Sard Soap on everything. Not sure if it works on bloodstains.


  • Sard wonder soap is what I would recommend. Leave it to soak and use a cold wash to get it out


  • I find Sard wonder soap to be really good.


  • There’s some really good advice here already! Soaking and scrubbing and using your stain remover of choice will work – it may just take time.
