So Long Period Stains

Who hasn't had a period stain or two along the way? From undies to fav jeans, period stains can be a royal pain. But happily they're often non-fatal and can be mostly/completley removed.

What period stain removal strategies have you tried and what works best for you?

saliva erases blood stains

This is going to sounds totally gross.

Your own saliva has the amazing ability to erase blood stains.

Simply spit on the stain and voila! You might have to keep spitting.

Note: it only works with your own saliva...so if your kid scrapes his knee and blood gets on his pants...your saliva won't work..but his will.

I actually learned this trick in 7th grade home-economics/health.

Apply plenty of detergent directly to the stain, then soak the clothing in cold water with LOTS of ice cubes. After about 10 minutes, scrub the detergent into the stain, drain the water, then add more cold water and ice cubes. Soak for another 10 minutes. Repeat as needed. This may not get the stain all the way out, but it will dramatically reduce it- you'll be amazed at how well it works!

Peroxide & a friend

Peroxide has always worked best for me :) When I was still in grade school, I had an accident and went to the nurse's office for help. She soaked my pants in the sink w/ mostly peroxide & warm water and the stain was gone in minutes! Peroxide is amazing! Try it sometime, oh and if that doesn't work it's always helpful to have a friend that wears the same size jeans as you nearby :)

period garments

as long as you are able to wash the garment right after you first dripped on it, then water can do just the trick, but if it was sitting for a little bit longer, then use detergent. however, if it has been hours, i don't know what to use. i guess you'll just have to reuse them as your "period garments".

Get rid of period stains

A great way to get rid of period stains is to soak your clothes in freezing water once it happens. If you can't do that, wait till you get home and put them either in lemon juice or vinager, the acid will disolve the blood.
