I have a laundry problem

I used to occasionally get blood on my white nurses uniform, so I can tell you that the best thing to use is hydrogen peroxide. You only need to do a spot clean with peroxide. You put a little pool of the peroxide on the spot and it will bubble while it's neutralizing the blood in the stain in the materials fibers. You might have to do that a few times blotting with a paper towel after each application of the peroxide. When the stain is finally most of the way out, take liquid soap and rub it well into the spot, let sit a while, then rinse it out. After all reminants of the stain are gone, let it dry and then you can take it to the laundry if you want. You don't have to do the whole sheet that way, just the area where the stain is. I've been a nurse for over 50 years, and that is the only tried and true method I've used over the years to get a bloodstain out without wrecking my uniforms.

Hi swirlz! Have you done anything to your bed sheet yet? Personally, I think it would really embarrassing to have someone wash it for you because of the red stain from your period. But I don't think it's embarrassing enough that I will find it difficult to take it into a laundry shop. Getting a red stain in your bed sheet is a common thing. It happens to a lot of women. I'm sure laundry shops have encountered a lot of this so they are already used to it. You shouldn't let your embarrassment stop you from taking your bed sheet to a laundry shop. Unless, you want to face the difficulty of washing a big bed sheet with your own hands.

The laundry shop gets all sorts of stained clothes so your bed sheet won't cause any negative reaction from them. What is important is for you to be able to bring that dirty bed sheet to the laundry shop.

Like what others have said, you wash that area where it was stained. Just have it hang in your room, where the electric fan could would fan dry it , the whole evening while you sleep. Then, when it's dry , you can include it in your laundry .

Here's what I would suggest you to do. Handwash that particular spot first. Afterwards you can send it to the laundry shop. That way, you don't even need to dry it after handwashing. Sure, it'd be a bit of a waste, but it's better than leaving it like that, right?

heheh.. i sometimes stained my bedsheet,hmm i suggest that you try to wash only the part that stained until the stain is not anymore visible then..after that you can have laundered, in that case you wouldn't be embarassed anymore.. i hope i did help you on that.. heheh but that's only a suggestion.. it's up to you if what makes you comfortable..

I would probably suggest to spot clean it and try to get most of the stained area cleaned. Then you can hang it either on the shower bar at the top and or on the backs of a couple of chairs to dry, before you send it out to be washed. Also keep in mind that the laundry shop probably has seen it all so it may not be as embarrassing as you may think. I probably would be prompted to do the first suggestion.
