you should never rub to remove fresh blood stains?
Remove blood stains | Want to know how to get blood out of clothes?
To effectively remove blood stains, it's crucial to act quickly before the stain dries. Start by rinsing the stain with cold water, as this often suffices to remove fresh blood stains from clothes. Avoid hot water, as it alters the blood's structure, and don't rub the stain, as this will push it deeper into the fabric. If cold water doesn't work or the stain has dried, consider using alternative methods like milk, shampoo, or a salt and cold water mixture. These methods can be effective, but results may vary. For guaranteed success, HG's specially formulated product, HG stain away no. 4, is highly recommended for removing dried blood stains from various fabrics.

2. Shampoo
First dampen the blood stain with cold water, then apply some shampoo and leave it to work. Then machine wash to get the stain out completely.
