Not a nice title, I know

I was just out shopping, caught my ankle on something or other and got blood on my favourite shoes They're Chanel, no less!! :cry: I'm a great believer in wearing things to death and enjoying them, so I'm not too upset because it's only a little bit of blood, but I was wondering if anyone has any tips on getting blood out?

They're little flat pumps, made of almost a cotton canvas which is cream and black and stripey. I wiped them with a damp cloth, and this seems to have helped a bit, but any tips will be gratefully received

Always use cold water and never hot as that sets the stain.

 

Not too sure what else to suggest

[Guest]

can they go in the washing machine? put them in an old pillowcase on a cool wash maybe? don't blame me if it doesn't qork though, just an idea!

Definately can't go in washing machine; they have a patent toe and are all leather inside, so I don't think they'd take to washing well.

I've tried with a cold damp cloth and it seems to have worked

I use cold water and salt on a fresh blood stain, works for me every time (and before that sounds like I'm some crazy axe murderer or something who regularly gets blood stains I'm not, I promise, but I did work as a midwife for 10 years and an A&E nurse before that. Blood was an occupational hazard ).

Oh I had an Amy Winehouse scenario in my head for a moment

 

I use soda water to remove stains from everything, worth a try.

I swear by Vanish and cold water on most stains

Remarkably, I think I got away with it There wasn't much blood anyway, and it hasn't left any mark whatsoever. Phew!!
