• Coldwater:
If the blood stain is new, it dissolves in cold water immediately. For this, grab a paper towel or a white rag. A colored material can stain the mattress cover, so use a white one. Run this towel or rag under cold water. Now begin dabbing, not rubbing, the bloodstain. It can dip the stain deeper in the bed.
Ensure that mattress is not so wet so that it can dry easily to prevent mold growth.
• Salt, corn starch, and hydrogen peroxide
Salt and hydrogen peroxides are good cleansing agents. They are used to remove all kinds of stains, including bloodstains.
It would help if you made a mixture of salt, cornstarch, and hydrogen peroxide. Take one tablespoon of salt, half a cup of cornstarch, and one-fourth cup of hydrogen peroxide. Mix all these ingredients until a paste is formed.
Apply this paste on the stained surface. Please keep it to dry completely. When it dries, scrape it with a knife or spatula and vacuum on it. This method will give you better outcomes.
• Baking soda:
Put two parts of cold water and one part of baking soda in a pot and mix them. Apply this mixture to the stained surface of your mattress using a white rag or paper towel. Leave it for thirty minutes there. Then rinse it with another rag or towel.
Dab that area and dry it. You can open the windows or turn the fan on to dry the mattress well. In this way, you will successfully remove the blood stain from your mattress.
• Meat tenderizer:
If you tried the above methods but fail to remove bloodstain, the last and efficient method is to use a meat tenderizer. It breaks down the proteins of blood and tenderizes it. Take two tablespoons of cold water and one tablespoon of meat tenderizer.
Mix them until a pasty mass is formed. Rub pasty mass over the stained area and keep to dry for about one hour. When it is dried, wipe the mass with a rag soaked in cold water. Finally, use another cloth to dry it.
