How Do You Remove Semen Stains From Clothes And Bed Sheets Completely ?
Semen contains protein material, among other things. When proteins are subject to heat they cook!! Hand wash in cold water first. The same applies to the removal of blood. You need to wash in cold water to stop the protein from in effect cooking into the fabric where it can chemically react such that it may be much more difficult to remove. Blood for instance is notoriously difficult to remove from fabric if washed in hot water rather than cold first. Semen is only mildly alkaline at pH 7.2 to 8.0. Household bleach has an alkalinity of about 12.0. This means that semen should have no bleaching effect on fabric as it is not far off the pH of pure water ( pH 7.0). Pre-ejaculate could have a mild bleaching effect on fabric as it is more alkaline than semen itself..alkalinity coming from its alkaline phosphatase content. Urine can have a bleaching effect on fabric. Ordinarily, the pH of urine should be around pH 7.0 (neutral like pure water) but can vary between being acidic to neutral to
