How to get a blood stain out of a mattress without soaking it

Cold water plus salt or hydrogen peroxide breaks down the blood proteins, without soaking the foam inside.

Stap voor stap

1. 1

   Blot up as much blood as possible with a clean white cloth and cold water, do not press or rub, so you do not spread it.

2. 2

   Make a paste of 2 tablespoons of salt + a splash of cold water, spread it on the stain and leave for 30 minutes; the salt pulls the blood back out of the fibres.

3. 3

   Wipe the paste away with a cold damp cloth; if the salt method does not work, dab with 3% hydrogen peroxide (test on a hidden corner first).

4. 4

   Blot the spot thoroughly dry with towels; press firmly to pull as much moisture out of the foam as possible.

5. 5

   Let the mattress air-dry for at least 4 hours with a window open or a fan on before making the bed again, otherwise you risk mould.
