Removing blood from your bedspread

Try "Goof Off" its a product you can buy in the hardware store. It smells terrible, so wear a mask. I would use a q-tip to apply. Also, follow the directions closely.

Dried up Blood Stains
Reply with quote Thanks

Eazy peazy. Our white cotton covered duvet had five blood patches on it. Unfortunately, 'her indoors' then put it in the washing machine on a hot wash which just made it worse. "Take it to the dump" she commanded.

Always the miser, I thought I'd have a go at removing the stains. At each stain I pulled the cotton covering away from the filling, dampened it with a little cold water, then applied neat household bleach on a rag, straight from the bottle (wearing rubber gloves of course). To my amazement, after rubbing each stain for no more than a couple of minutes, they disappeared completely. I then held the patches under a running tap to rinse away any remaining bleach and dried them with a towel. icon_biggrin.gif

Maygreen, who started this thread in 2006 only made 1 post.

so, the problem is now how do you expect to get a reply, if they only made the one post?

I don't think that Udhi is referring to the Op but is referring to Clockmans response.

Nope looks logical to me. Dead thread revived with an answer. Someone (JohnD) says "too late" someone new (Udhi) finds the thread and says no its not because the answer is relevant to a problem they have.
