how could i clean pants with ';period stain'; without using a washing machine?





please help it happened to my school pants and i need to use it tomorrow .How could i clean pants with ';period stain'; without using a washing machine?
i have had this happen to me a million times...unfortunatly. lol all you need to do is fill your sink with cold water. as cold as you can get it. do not use warm.... wam water will set the stain. make sure the water is cold. soad the part of the pants for about 5 minutes. then squirt a tad of hand soap on the spot and rub the pants together. rinse. if the spot has not come out. soak a tad longer and try this again in another 5-10 minutes. spots sometimes take 2 tries to get out depending on how dark the stain is and how big it is. this is what i have always done when this happens to me. works every time. :) :) hope this helps you.How could i clean pants with ';period stain'; without using a washing machine?
Ok, you need an old toothbrush and some detergent.


Laundry detergent, dishwashing detergent, or shampoo should work.


Plain water might work also, but detergent + water will be better.





Take the pants and work over a sink. Use cold water to begin with.


Wet the toothbrush and scrub with water. Then put a bit of detergent on the toothbrush and keep scrubbing. The stain should start to loosen. Keep rinsing the toothbrush and scrubbing until the stain is out. Shouldn't take long. Make sure everything (stain and detergent) are rinsed out. It's ok to use warmer water once the stain is out but hot water will set a blood stain making it hard to remove.





Hang the pants up to dry using a hanger and clothes pins, allowing 6-8 hours. Use a hairdryer on the wet spot if you're in a hurry.
How to Remove Blood Stains


Blood stains are permanent once they set. Removing them before the item is washed and dried is essential. This is an incredibly simple and easy method that requires no fancy stain removers!





All you need is cold water and good old fashioned soap. Liquid soap is easiest, but bar soap works as well.





Steps


Simplest Method


Using only COLD water dampen the stain.


Rub salt into the area (fold the stain in on its self and rub the fabric together to save time and effort.


When the blood is nearly gone just throw the garment in a normal wash.











Soap Lather Method


Wet the stained area in cool or cold water.


Rub a generous amount of soap or shampoo right into stain.


Scrub the area hard between your fists, with your palms facing each other.


Work up a good lather. Add more water if needed.


Rinse in cold water and repeat until the stain is gone. Do not use hot water. Hot water makes the stain set in.


If the hand washing with soap does not immediately get the blood out, pour ammonia straight on most items of clothing--it will NOT damage the fabric like bleach will. It will not fade your clothes unless the dye in the fabric is not permanent or tie dyed or batik.


The blood stain will magically disappear.











Hydrogen Peroxide Method


Fill a bowl with Hydrogen Peroxide.


Put the clothing with the stain into the Hydrogen Peroxide.


Let it sit for 15-20 minutes.


Remove the stained clothing from the Hydrogen Peroxide.


Rinse it in cool water.


Ten minutes will work fine if the stain is pretty light or mild. If it's a small garment, you can also use a sandwich bag.














';Natural'; Method


This may be difficult for use in large areas.





Gather some spit in your mouth.


Spit on the blood-stained area.


Rub the stains out.


Rinse with cold water.


The enzymes in spit used to help digest food also degrade the proteins in blood that make it so difficult to clean. This method works well, but it is also recommended to wash with cold water and use stain removers. It works well on not only items of clothing, but on rugs.














Toothpaste Method


Rub in toothpaste and spit.


Rinse with cold water.


Repeat if necessary.





.............Tips.............


Generally, the method above will work; however, if it does not, try soaking blood-stained clothing in a solution of one part ammonia to five parts water for 15 minutes. Then put the stained clothing in a washing machine and launder as usual.


Dr. Bronner's Liquid Castile works like a charm. You can also use Murphy's Oil Soap. Real soap, not petroleum-based detergent (like dishwashing liquid), is the key.


Of course, the sooner you get to it, the better and faster this method works.


Hydrogen peroxide may be useful as well. The peroxide will start foaming when it is in contact with blood. When it stops bubbling, either the blood is gone or the fabric is too wet and needs to be wrung out. Dilute it with 50% water.


For hard, non-porous surfaces, it is more efficient to saturate a blood spot with a 10% bleach mix and then wipe away. This will disinfect and clean at the same time.


In addition to the peroxide, and the soap, you can use club soda. Soak the spot in club soda for 30 minutes while you do something else. The remainder if any will be light yellow, wash the yellow with a spot remover such as Shout.


Resolve Carpet Cleaner sprayed generously, preferrably totally saturated) on the bloody area before throwing it into the washing machine with detergent and cold water. This should remove the most impossible looking blood stain. The quicker this method is done, the better (best before it dries). However, if you can't get the Resolve on immediately, you can use cold water to make the blood stain damp.





.............Warnings.............


Do NOT use warm or hot water - the stain will set for good, because the hot water will cook the proteins in the blood. If you'd like to wash the garment in warmer water, thoroughly remove the stain in cool water first.


Hydrogen peroxide may bleach and/or weaken certain fabrics, and can cause a stain itself. Take care not to let the foam spread outside the original stain area.
Shampoo take out blood- no kidding! This really works. Put uncolored shampoo directly on the stain and scrub with your fingers. You'll see right away as the blood starts to wash out. Rinse with cold water and gently wring out. Repeat this process until the stain is gone. Don't dry them or use heat until the stain is out completely or it will set. You can also use shampoo in the washer. I will dab some on my undies and rub it in just before I throw them in the wash and then wash my clothes as normal with detergent. I promise this will work!





Warning: I used green colored shampoo on a pink shirt once and it stained the shirt, got the blood out, but the green stained the shirt. Use white or clear shampoo. Any hair shampoo will work.
scrub the stain with SALT and COOL water. Just plain table salt, pour it on the stain, and don't be stingy with it. rub it together real good, get as much out as you can, then wash in cool water. Don't use hot water because it will set the stain in. check it before you dry it to make sure the blood came out before you put it in the dryer. (If it didn't come out -repeat the process) If you dry clothes in the dryer with stains in them the heat will set the stain in and it will NEVER come out.





It's a lot easier to get out if you don't let it get dry first, But this always worked for me, for ANY type of blood stains.





Good luck!


Gramma
use COLD WATER and some soap with a little bleach (if white or light colored pants) and let soak. (Dish soap works well). Let the pants soak for awhile - again, in cold water (hot water sets the stain) and scrub, then soak and scrub again. Let hang dry or blow dry the spot with a blow dryer for awhile.
You need to soak them in Colour safe bleach (like Napisan...I'm not sure what the equivilent would be in your country) for atleast 2 hours then hand scrub. If stain is still visible wear something else to school and let it soak ALL day, then put it in the wash for a cycle.
well if the pants are white then simply poor some bleach on a towl and scruch but if they are not then you really cant unless you just try scrubbing it sooo good luck
As a couple of answerers already stated, cold water and soap.
Peroxside works best on blood it take only a few seconds good luck
peroxide works awesome on blood stains
