This is the best blood stain remover for getting dry blood stains out of clothes, tshirt or shorts.
It is only a matter of time before we get some fish blood on our favorite fishing shirt. No matter how careful you are, if you wear it on the boat, it’s getting splattered eventually. Some say it adds street cred. My wife just thinks it’s nasty.
I’ve put together a couple tips so you can learn how to remove blood stains yourself. The most important thing is you try to remove it as soon as it happens. The longer it sits, the worse it is. If you can hit it while you’re on the boat still with the washdown pump or a little lake water, it can help to keep it from setting in and making it permanent.
When you’re trying to get blood out, always USE COLD WATER!
Get some cotton balls (gauze or rags work too) and saturate a couple cotton balls with Hydrogen peroxide.
Put your extra rags, gauze or cotton balls underneath the fabric to catch any moisture from the peroxide.
Start “blotting” the area where the stain is, keep blotting until the stain is gone.
This method is preferred since it is pretty easy on the fibers and will not leave a stain ring. Still, be careful because hydrogen peroxide can bleach or damage fabrics. You may want to spot test. Also, be sure you clean out all the Hydrogen Peroxide BEFORE washing. Use COLD water.
For particularly difficult blood stains on Tshirts, you can actually put the stain over a cup or bowl and pour it through the stain, catching it underneath. This method is a little more aggressive so use this as a last resort.
Friends of mine also report good results using oxiclean. Just follow the directions on the bottle.
If all else fails and you REALLY get tired of ruining your favorite shirt…. JUST FISH NAKED
