⚠️ Precautions
Safety is always #1 — please do not skip over this step
Important Precautions:
1. **Avoid heat**: Always use cold water when dealing with blood stains as hot water can cause the proteins in the blood to bind to the fabric, making it more difficult to remove.
2. **Always do a patch test**: Before applying any cleaning solution, test it on an inconspicuous area of the fabric first to ensure it won’t cause discoloration.
3. **Be gentle**: When working with nylon, be careful not to scrub too hard as it could damage the fibers.
4. **Avoid unknown chemicals**: If you are using a commercial stain remover, read the ingredients to avoid any potential allergic reactions.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE):
1. **Gloves**: It is always a good idea to wear gloves to protect your hands, especially when handling soiled laundry and chemicals.
2. **Eye protection**: Consider wearing safety glasses to prevent any splatters from entering your eyes during stain treatment.
3. **Apron or old clothes**: Protect your clothing from potential splashes or spills by wearing an old outfit or an apron.
Remember, safety should always come first. Happy cleaning!
Pre-Treatment
Why it’s so important
Pre-treatment for blood stains, especially those on nylon and ones that have set for more than 3 days, is crucial due to the nature of blood proteins. These proteins bind vigorously to fabric fibers, creating an intricate bond strengthened over time if the stain is allowed to dry and set. By applying the dish soap and cold water solution, you’re breaking down these proteins and mitigating their binding ability. This process makes the subsequent stain removal process significantly more effective, giving you the best chance of fully eliminating the stain.

Pre-Treatment Instructions
Pretreatment Instructions for Removing Blood Stains from Nylon (Small, Moderate-Sized Stains, More than 3 days old, Stain Setting is TRUE):
1. Blot the stained area with a clean white cloth or paper towel to remove any excess blood. (1 minute)
2. Mix 1 tablespoon of liquid dish soap with 2 cups of cold water. Gently apply this solution to the stained area. (2 minutes)
3. Using a clean white cloth or sponge, dab the solution onto the stain, working from the outer edges towards the center. Avoid rubbing, as it may spread the stain. (3 minutes)
4. Allow the solution to sit on the stain for 5-10 minutes to break down the blood. (5-10 minutes)
These pretreatment instructions will help prepare the stain for removal. Now, I will provide you with the steps to remove the stain completely.

Post-Treatment Instructions for Removing Blood Stains from Nylon:
1. After the item is dry, carefully inspect the area for any residual staining. If any stain remains, you’ll need to repeat the pre-treatment and stain removal process. (3 minutes)
2. If no stains remain, proceed to lightly brush the treated area with a soft-bristle brush. This helps restore the fabric’s appearance. Avoid using too much force to prevent damage to the nylon. (4 minutes)

Important Notes
Extra thoughts I had, just in case ♥️
———
Important Notes:
1. **Patience is key**: Blood stains, especially ones that are a few days old, can be stubborn. It may require repeating the pretreatment and stain removal steps a few times to entirely remove the stain.
2. **Non-Chlorine Bleach (optional)**: If the stain remains after several attempts and the item is white or colorfast, consider using a non-chlorine bleach in the final wash cycle.
3. **Non-Colorfast Items**: If the item is not colorfast, avoid strong detergents. Also, prolonging the stain removal process or using hot water may cause the dye to bleed.
4. **Professional Care (optional)**: For valuable or delicate nylon items, consider asking for professional help if the stain persists.
I believe this addresses all possible sticky points to consider during the stain removal process from beginning to end. The key is to take your time, work gently, and never let the stain dry out during the treatment process. You’ve got this!
