Even the smallest cut can lead to an alarming red blotch on your favourite couch or rug. Don’t panic! By springing into action with Koh Universal Cleaner, you’ll tackle fresh blood before it has a chance to sink in. No need for harsh chemicals - just a quick, effective routine to keep your furnishings looking as good as new.
Act Fast
The sooner you treat the stain, the easier it will be to remove. Fresh blood stains are much more manageable than dried ones, so don’t wait!
Blot, Don’t Rub
Use a paper towel to gently blot the stain. This will absorb as much blood as possible before applying a cleaner. Avoid rubbing, as this can push the stain deeper into the fabric.
Always Patch Test
Before applying any cleaner, spray a small, hidden area of the fabric to test for colour fastness and compatibility.
Apply Koh Universal Cleaner
Lightly spray Koh Universal Cleaner directly onto the stain. Less is more—avoid over-saturating the fabric, especially on upholstery or mattresses.
Blot Again with a Microfibre Cloth
Take a clean, dry Koh Microfibre Cloth and gently blot the stain, working from the outer edges toward the centre to prevent spreading.
Rinse with Cold Water
Use a damp cloth soaked in cold water to rinse the area. This step removes the lifted stain and excess cleaner.
Absorb Excess Moisture
Blot the area with a dry towel or clean microfibre cloth to remove moisture before letting the fabric air dry.
Repeat If Needed
If the stain remains, repeat steps 5-7 until it fully lifts. Older stains may require multiple treatments.
Air Dry Naturally
Let the area dry completely. Avoid using heat (like hairdryers or tumble dryers) as heat can permanently set any remaining stain.
Pro Tips for Stubborn Blood Stains
- No hot water! Heat can set blood stains, making them harder to remove. Always use cold water.
- For set-in stains, let Koh Universal Cleaner sit for a few minutes before blotting.
- For large stains, use a wet vac with 1ml of Koh Laundry Liquid per 1L of water.
- Treat clothing stains quickly by rinsing with cold water before applying Koh Universal Cleaner.
- For upholstery or mattresses, use a cold air fan to speed up drying.
