How to Get Blood Out of Jeans: Stain Removal Guide

If not promptly dealt with, these pesky stains can weaken the fabric’s fibers, cause discoloration, and potentially make your jeans look unwearable. 

Due to their absorbent fabric, getting blood stains out of jeans can prove challenging unless you are well-versed in effective cleaning methods and stain removers like Vanish. 

But fret not! Before you decide to replace your favorite denim, let’s check out how to get blood out of jeans easily to ensure a clean and fresh wardrobe.

Before beginning with the blood stain removal process, make sure of the following: 

1. Blot away the excess blood from the jeans using a clean and white microfiber cloth or paper towel. 

2. Soak the cloth in cold water and blot the stained area to absorb the excess blood.

3. Avoid rubbing the stains or exerting too much pressure, as it can cause the stain to spread further into the fabric. 

4. Repeat the blotting process until the cloth stops picking up blood. Use new microfiber cloth or paper towels as needed.

After blotting away the excess blood from the jeans, use Vanish Oxi Action Powder, which contains Oxi Advance formula to remove blood stains, neutralize odors, eliminate 99.9% germs, and brighten colors.

There are three methods for utilizing Vanish products to eliminate stains: Pre-treat, Soaking, and adding directly to the Wash.

Although pre-treatment and soaking are typically reserved for tough stains, the in-wash method is the simplest and can be combined with pre-treat or soaking.

Option 1: Pre Treat

1. Add ¼ scoop (15g) of Vanish Oxi Action Powder in the water (MAX 40°C)

2. Stir for 30 seconds.

3. Apply the mixture directly to the blood stain, rub it gently, and let it sit for 10 minutes (do not allow Vanish to dry on the jeans). 

4. Wash as usual. 

Option 2: Soak

1. Add 1 scoop (60g) of Vanish Oxi Action Powder in 4L of water.

2. Stir for 30 seconds.

3. Soak the jeans in the solution for 1h max, and for whites, it's 4h max.

4. Wash as usual. 

Option 3: Wash

Add Vanish Oxi Action Powder to your machine on top of your laundry detergent. Below are the recommended stain remover dosages:

• ½  scoop (30g) for normal stains.

• 1 scoop (60g) for tough & dried stains.
