Removing blood stains is a rather laborious process. The task becomes more difficult if it is necessary to remove blood stains from leather goods. Nevertheless, there is a way out! There are many ways to remove blood stains from leather items such as jackets, bags and furniture. To remove blood stains, you must act immediately. In addition, a test should be performed on an inconspicuous area of ​​the fabric before using the stain remover of your choice. Use soapy water or hydrogen peroxide to remove blood stains from your skin.

Steps

Method 1 of 3: Dealing with a Spot

1. 1 Try to remove the stain as quickly as possible. The sooner you start the process of removing the stain, the more likely you will be able to get rid of it. Immediately after the stain appears, blot it with a clean, dry cloth. This will remove part of the stain and also prevent the blood from sinking deeper into the skin.
2. 2 Test the fabric. Before you start removing the stain with your preferred stain remover, test on an inconspicuous area of ​​your skin. Select a suitable area of ​​skin and apply a few drops of your preferred blemish remover to it. For example, test by applying the product to the bottom of your purse, the back of your shoes, or the back of a sofa.
3. 3 Wait five minutes. You should wait five minutes to be completely sure that the chosen product will not negatively affect the fabric. If you notice that the selected area of ​​skin has changed color or the fabric is cracked, do not use this product to remove blood stains.

Method 2 of 3: How to remove a stain with a soapy solution

1. 1 Pour water and liquid soap into a small bowl. Mix room temperature water with a few drops of liquid soap or dishwashing detergent. Mix thoroughly until foam appears.
2. 2 Dip the sponge into the soapy water. Use a clean rag or sponge for this purpose. Dip a sponge in soapy water. Squeeze out excess water. The sponge should be damp, but not wet.
3. 3 Blot the stain. Dab the stain gently with a soapy sponge or rag. Do not scrub the stain, as the blood can dig deeper into the fabric. In addition, the stain may become even larger.
4. 4 Rinse your skin with water. Dampen a clean cloth with water and wipe your skin with it. This will help remove the soapy water from your skin.
5. 5 Wipe the skin area with a tissue paper. You can use a dry washcloth or towel to dry your skin.

Method 3 of 3: How to remove a stain with hydrogen peroxide

1. 1 Apply a few drops of hydrogen peroxide to a dry cloth. Take a clean washcloth and apply a few drops of hydrogen peroxide to it. The napkin should be slightly damp, but not wet.
2. 2 Blot the stain with a tissue. Do not rub your skin with it. Otherwise, the stain may become even larger.
3. 3 Wait for bubbles to appear on the skin. On contact with blood, hydrogen peroxide breaks down into water and molecular oxygen. As a result, a lot of foam is formed from the oxygen bubbles. These bubbles lift blood particles to the surface of the skin. Wipe off any bubbles using a dry terry cloth.
4. 4 Wipe the skin dry. After you've removed the bubbles from your skin, use a dry, clean cloth to remove the hydrogen peroxide from your skin.
