Imo Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theherd123 Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 Always use cold water and never hot as that sets the stain. Not too sure what else to suggest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imo Posted May 7, 2008 Author Share Posted May 7, 2008 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cate in NZ Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 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 ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tessa the Duchess Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 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. Tessa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarbaraJ Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 I swear by Vanish and cold water on most stains Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imo Posted May 7, 2008 Author Share Posted May 7, 2008 Remarkably, I think I got away with it There wasn't much blood anyway, and it hasn't left any mark whatsoever. Phew!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
