How to Wash Blood Off Your Clothes

Are you afraid you have just ruined your clothing because blood got on them? Never fear, I have a solution for you!

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• WD-40

1. Rinse the blood the best you can with COLD water.

2. 
    

   Spray on a good dose of WD-40 lubricant

3. Let sit for 20 minutes or even overnight

4. Wash as normal in your machine, set on cold.

5. Check your clothing before placing in the dryer. The heat from the dryer will set stains so if a spot remains, take care of it before you dry it.

• WD-40 will also get out a variety of other stains. Even grease from working on vehicles! Yahoo!

on 5/3/2008 Thanks for the info. I'm really laughing, thinking that I should keep a bottle of WD-40 on my work desk and when those folks at work push my buttons, well - I'll know.....

on 4/11/2008 Wow- I never knew WD-40 had that use - thanks for the tip! I usually use toothpaste, stain stick, etc. but it doesn't always work. Thanks for the article!

on 3/19/2008 Hydrogen peroxide works well if the clothing is white. (It can lighten bright colors) Thanks for the info.
