to throw sheets & duvet cover away....

[postitgirl]

Does anyone have trouble getting period blood out of sheets. I've washed my daughter's sheets once at 60 with washing liquid stuff, and then again on a long cold wash with bleach. Hasn't made hardly any difference. Anyone any tips, Im tempted to throw them out but it seems wasteful! They're 100% cotton, but white - I know... have just bought her some dark coloured sheets 😜😏 I mean hotels must be able to get the stains out right

Make a paste with Vanish,apply to stain and hang on line in full sun -but probably works if applied and left for an hour x

Dr Breckham does a pack of 3 little pop out circular pads for various stains. Try that, followed by a generous amount of ace bleach ( Poundland or simlar) wash with oxi powder. Ace bleach is brilliant.

Wash again on 60 and hang out I. The sun on a hot day the stain will go in the sun

Fairy up liquid but has to be the green original one thou scrub it right in to the stain.

Squirt some stain remover on them and wash on cold.

Cold water and strangely whitening toothpaste worked for me! It was Arm & Hammer if I remember correctly, though I’m sure others would work too.

Cold water and salt.

Period pants are a good investment for night time too, my teenagers are doing much better in them than pads.

Spray them with kitchen cleaner with bleach. Such as flash with bleach etc…..
It works amazingly

Dye them a dark colour ? In the future wash with cold and air dry

Definitely agree about hanging them out in the sunshine.

And also about getting your DD some period pants for overnight. I use them now (with a pad) and no longer have to worry about leaking. It's such a relief to be able to sleep properly during my period (assuming the pain isn't too bad).

Buy period pants - life changing as I'd always leak at night before.

Always cold salt water first.

Biotex works every time for me

I always use washing soda crystals for really stubborn stains

Vanish - always does it. Soak the stained bits in a basin

For heavy bleeding, I really recommend the maxi reusable night pads from honour your flow-best ones I've tried.

Prior to using these, I'd bleed through everything, including the towels I was on. Looking forward to being done with periods!

Try salt in with detergent

Hang them in direct sunlight. The sun will bleach them.

Cold water, lots of salt and soap on the stain them scrub with a nail brush till it’s out then wash. It does come out from scrubbing. Get her some period pants for overnight wear.

Get her to spit all over the stains first. Gross, I know but the saliva will break down the proteins in the blood, or some such thing. Honestly, it works.

Cold water and salt

You need to rinse it in cold water first and if possible use soap as well but only cold water . That should get most of it out . Washing it at 60.deg first has set the stain , blood won't come out if you use hot or warm water.

Bit late now but soak in cold water and salt when fresh stained.
You could try some Napisan

I’m not sure if it will work on period blood, but Elbow Grease spray worked wonders on my baby’s poo explosions
