Blood stains rank high up there along with grease, ink, oil and grass stains as one of the toughest stains to clean. Having a vet hubby means he comes back almost daily with these icky blood stains that he gets when doing animal surgeries. At first I had a headache cleaning them but I soon learnt an easy trick from my mother-in-law, who's a vet as well, to use Vanish Power O2 and I've never looked back since :)
To remove blood stains,
1. Dissolve 1 scoop of Vanish Power O2 powder in a basin of warm water
2. Soak the blood-stained item in the Vanish Power O2 solution. It's recommended to soak item for 1hr max for colours, or up to 6 hrs max for whites. Do not use on wool, silk or leather.
3. Wash as usual with your favourite detergent and another scoop of Vanish Power O2 powder.
Easy peasy! I rarely have to even scrub at the stain after soaking it with Vanish and it works every single time :)
Tips:
- Always follow the usage instructions on the Vanish packaging
- Avoid smearing the blood around. Blot the stain with a wet napkin first if you are outdoors and can't wash it immediately.
- If you don't have Vanish Power O2 at hand {but you should!}, soak the stain in cold water, then apply salt, club soda or vinegar to the stain then rub it in until it disappears. Wash as usual.

That's a pretty impressive job on the blood stains! I have a family full of nurses, so they to have had their fair share of blood stains as well.
That's really, really good that it gets the blood stains out.
I am using Vanish liquid stain removal recently, but never (have not yet got any) use it on blood stain. This is good to know that Vanish actually works on it.
Blood stains are a beast to remove! With kids in the house, we sure get our fair share. Bloody noses, scraped knees, falling off bicycles. I swear, I've scrubbed more blood out of clothes than anything else. This sounds like a fabulous product!
They're amazing results, Ai! I can see how Vanish has proven to be the cure to your headaches!
Bloody laundry indeed... haha
I wish I had used this years ago when my kids were babies! But it is quite expensive, but I can see worth it! Em x
Alissa: I would think so! What do you use to remove the blood stains?
mail4rosey: yes so easy!
Mama Obito: I hope you won't get to use it for blood stains unless it's due to work!
Theresa: I hate sitting in the bathroom scrubbing through clothes. One of the worst time wasters ever ><"
Grace: pretty good, eh? :)
Madeline: haha yeah :P
Emily: I'm not sure if the price has changed but 1 scoop can be used for 1 laundry load (just maintenance cleaning) so I guess that's quite economical :)
I've voted! Looks really impressive!
Voted for you :) We use Vanish at home too!
I have voted & with kids I just can't imagine clean clothes without vanish :)....stains vanish...smiles innnnnn
Vanish actually works for me too. I have a white tablecloth which I use every time we have guests and you can imagine at the end it is full of drinks and food stains. Although I wash it with a good laundry product, I also add vanish and it removes all of the stains perfectly. I encourage you to try this product too.
