Lam, thanks for your help. I've tried that but needed 3 times wash.

The minute you discovered the bloodstain the minute you wash it with detergent (hopefully it is just a fresh stain)

Quite stubborn to get rid of if too old. Whitening detergent is not recommended.

Thanks for the comment about no whitening detergent.

Wash the denim with some hydrogen peroxide. Depending on the size of the garment, you may want to add more, but have the water level on small and add just a couple of ounces. If I remember right, you can also use detergent with the hydrogen peroxide so the garment will come out blood free and clean.

Stuart, I haven't tried hydrogen peroxide yet, I've done a third wash with detergent now and left the cloth to the sun. Quite better. Do you think hydrogen peroxide could take off the bloodstain without whitening the cloth?

Yes, hydrogen peroxide will only have an affect on the blood itself. It does not bleach the cloth itself. Good luck.

Thank you Stuart, I got the bloodstain out almost... But for a small look of it yet. I'll try the hydrogen peroxide now.

Simply pour hot water into the affected area and little bit of detergent.

Wash cloths gently using a brush.

Hope this will help you.
