Blood

CAUTION: Do NOT treat blood stains with hot water as it will set the stain onto the fabric!

  1. If the stain is fresh, flush it out under cold running water.
  2. If the stain remains or if the stain is not fresh, soak the stained garment in a plastic bucket of cold salted water (1-2 tablespoons salt/litre water) for several hours and then wash as usual with Omo Small & Mighty Top Loader or Front Loader concentrate.
  3. For persistent stains soak in a tepid solution of Omo 2x concentrate powder. Rub gently around the edge of the stain with the soaking solution before leaving the garment to soak. Always check for colourfastness before soaking.

NOTE: Older stains are difficult to remove, so treat as soon as possible.

Most stains vanish completely if you act fast and wash the garment normally, but some are more difficult to remove and require special attention.

This section covers every aspect of stain removal - advice about what you should do before you attempt to treat a stain, and a guide with useful hints on how to remove those particularly difficult ones.
