What to do if the mattress gets menstrual blood

Many women feel irritable during menstruation. This is not only because menstruation affects people's emotions, but also because the amount of blood during menstruation is often too much, causing menstrual blood to stain the sheets or clothes. It is troublesome and difficult to clean the mattress if menstrual blood gets on it, so you must be careful about the method. So what should I do if my mattress gets menstrual blood?

1. Soap washing

According to the analysis of the chemical composition of blood, if the blood stains have just attached to the sheets and quilt covers, they should be washed immediately with cold water or salt water and rinsed for a while. But remember not to use hot water, because hot water will cause the blood to coagulate. Rinse and wash again with soap.

2. Soak in cold water

To clean blood stains, first soak them in cold water and then wash them with enzyme laundry detergent. Or wash with soap or 10% potassium iodide solution; or use white radish juice or mashed carrots mixed with salt to remove blood stains on clothes; or use 10% tartaric acid solution to wipe the stained area, and then wash with cold water; using enzyme laundry detergent to remove blood stains is very effective.

3. Vinegar solution

Blood stains on white sheets can be treated by mixing 1 part sodium thiosulfate and 50 parts water, diluting and dissolving the mixture and heating to 35°C. Then soak white clothes in the mixture until the blood color disappears and then wash with water. You can also soak the fabric in a 3% vinegar solution, leave it for 12 hours, and then rinse it with water. The effect is also very good.

4. Others

If it is left for a long time, you need to scrub it with 10% ammonia or 3% hydrogen peroxide, and then wash it with cold water. If it still cannot be cleaned, wash it with 10-15% oxalic acid solution. The universal washing method is to slowly rub and wash with sulfur soap. Rub hand oil on the blood stain, wait for half an hour until it is fully blended, and then wash it with cold water. If the sheets and quilt covers are stained with blood, they must be washed immediately, otherwise the blood stains will be difficult to remove over time.
