Stage Blood Removal

Our base blood is “Reel Blood” made by Reel Creations. It easily comes our of most fabrics, though it does not come out of silk.

Follow the instructions below:

  1. Rinse the affected area with cold water.
  2. Mix together Dawn dish soap, white vinegar and water in a squirt bottle. Spray on the stain, work it in, then rinse it out with cold water.
  3. Launder as normal.

This treatment can also be used on non-launderable clothes.

For tougher stains, soak in a mixture of Downy Fabric Softener, Dawn dish soap and water for 20 minutes, then launder as normal.
