Before and After Photos

The following photos are a real-life example of how Immacu-10 works, and the accompanying story tells about the experience and how Immacu-10 was used. Additional examples will be posted in blog entries.

Blood stains on white karate uniform

My son, who was 12 at the time, takes karate and earned his black belt in October 2006. He really loves it and hates to miss class. To make a long story short, he was working on some kicks during class, jumped up to do a kick, and lost his balance. Upon doing so, he fell to the ground without really hurting himself, but he somehow hit himself in the nose with his knee while his feet were in the air and he was traveling downward. His nose immediately began to bleed and, consequently, the blood made its way to his uniform in several places.

Once he got home, we immediately got out the Immacu-10 and I began to spray the blood spots. The mixture I had in the spray bottle was 2 capfuls of Immacu-10 to 16 ounces of water. I honestly did not know if that dilution would be strong enough. My method was basically the same as what I have done with most other stains.

I sprayed the spot a few times, then used the nozzle of the spray bottle to rub the spot back and forth. Then, I sprayed some more and rubbed the spot several times. You sort of get a feel for how much of each to do, depending on the size of the spot, what made the stain, and how long it has set in. Sometimes, it’s best to let Immacu-10 soak in for 10 or 15 minutes, then start rubbing it out. I have used a terry cloth towel to help out in the process, also. One more thing: do not use another cleaner on a spot and then put it in the laundry, or do not just put it in the laundry. This often “sets in” the stain, rendering Immacu-10 and virtually all other stain removers, useless.

Back to the uniform: after working with the blood stains for a while, I was able remove them. Afterwards, I sprayed one last time, then added the uniform to cold water in the washing machine. As you can see in the above photographs, the stains came out completely and the uniform looks quite well.
