Stains from Period, S*x or Wet Dreams
There’s no way you can get away from these things in life, they are a part of a normal and healthy routine. But of course, their pesky little stains do have to follow and make your life a little harder. So instead of just getting embarrassed about them, tackle them head-on, and always be prepared and extra care for next time.
Why periods stains are the worst?
This goes without denying, periods are the worst. They start bothering you almost a week earlier, the mood swings, sometimes cramps even, and the constant anticipation of a bad time. And when they finally hit, it’s no fun either. Now imagine you’re already having a rough time, had trouble sleeping also, your periods weren’t expected till another day but wait…they came earlier this time. You wake up in a pool of blood, your clothes are ruined, you’re already in a lot of mess and now you have to clean this all up also before someone finds out.
The tough stains from S*x and Wet Dreams
As much pleasure these give us, there’s a lot of mess to take care of afterward also. That is a bummer of course but you can’t get away from it. Sex dreams are basically our body’s needs being fulfilled if you’re not doing it for some time and sex is… well, sex. These are a bit different because they’re kind of very stubborn and sticky. It takes some time to get rid of them, the earlier the better.
Whatever the stain, whatever the worries, we got you covered.
Remove Blood Stains from Your Bedsheet
We evidently don’t want the period to be any more frustrating than it already is. Your bed sheets are the number one target and then your sofas, chairs, cushions, and whatnot. But if you follow these tips, things might not be as hard as you thought.
No Time? The Cheatsheet way
The best way is the quickest way, honestly. Even if you’re trying to remove the bloodstains in a hurry because you can’t let your boyfriend, husband, or roommate find out, but that is truly the best time also. You don’t want the blood to stay on for longer and just leave a permanent mark or even stink also. So here are some tips to follow:
Cold water a.s.a.p.
The best way is to just take the sheet and run the stain through cold water. The quicker you wash it, the better. You will see the stains getting dim and then just add any regular soap or hand wash there at your sink. Quickly dry it with an iron or just your hairdryer. You’ll be done in 5 minutes and no one will ever know.
Talcum powder
Grab your powder quickly and just make a paste with water. Apply a nice layer on top of the stain. Even if someone sees this, it won’t look bad as the blood, plus you get it cleaned as soon as it dries off. You can substitute the powder with cornstarch also if it’s available.
Put masking tape on it
Of course, it’s not a permanent solution but it will get you out of an embarrassing moment. Keep some neutral colored tape in your drawer always, if the stain is small, put tape on it and you can even blend some of your makeup or powder over it to match the color of the sheet. If it’s white, translucent or talcum powder does the trick. Don’t forget to wash afterward though.
How to Remove Blood Stains the Natural and Commercial Way

One of the best solutions is just sitting there on your kitchen shelf. It’s easy, cheap, and convenient.

3. Baking Soda
Baking soda works pretty well especially when you’re using it on a white sheet. Make a baking soda paste is easy; just take one cup of baking soda and half a cup of water. Rub the paste on the stain and let it sit for an hour. It will definitely take up the color and leave your sheet stain-free.

Rinse it with water and dry with an iron. Keep doing this till you’re happy with the results. It works even on dried and old stains.
