We’ve got answers.<\/p>\n<p>No matter how fun the sex was, cleaning up after having a romp in the sack can be a real drag. There is nothing more annoying than a giant semen stain in the center of your mattress, or period blood splattered over your sheets like a crime scene. What in the heck are you supposed to do about these stains? How do you wash them? What products do you use? And, crucially, is treating a poop stain different than a semen stain?<\/p>\n<p>These are questions I\u2019m often asked as a sex educator and coach. I know a lot about cleaning sex toys, but I know very little about cleaning sex stains. So, I rounded up a few cleaning experts to get you the skinny on post-coital cleanup.<\/p>\n<h2>The first thing to know is that semen is a protein stain.<\/h2>\n<p>There are other ingredients in there, but protein is the trickiest bit to clean. If semen has landed on something that can’t be easily thrown in the washing machine\u2014such as a couch cushion or a futon\u2014then you can treat it by hand. \u201cProtein stains are best treated with something like Clorox Urine Remover,” Mary Gagliardi, aka Clorox’s cleaning expert Dr. Laundry, says. “It contains hydrogen peroxide, which is a great way to get rid of protein-based stains on many types of fabrics. First, blot up as much as possible, then spray the stain(s), wait three minutes, and blot up with a damp cloth.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One more important thing to note (especially if your sheets are shared with other people) is to be wary of bleach when cleaning up cum. Joshua Miller, director of technical training of Rainbow International, a professional restoration and cleaning services company, warns that bleach can set a protein stain like semen into sheets and upholstery. In other words, that stain is sticking around <em>forever<\/em> now.<\/p>\n<p>After you\u2019re finished having sex, you may want to wash your sheets. However, there are a few things you should know before sticking them in the<!--more--> washing machine. Gagliardi says to wash your cotton or poly blend sheets and bedding in hot water, which won’t harm them. Vaginal fluid and semen are pretty easy stains to remove from those fabrics, and the hotter the water, the better it cleans your sheets.<\/p>\n<h2>For satin and silk sheets, you\u2019ll have to clean them differently.<\/h2>\n<p>\u201cDon\u2019t agitate the stain,\u201d Gagliardi advises. \u201cUse cool water to rinse any stains first, pretreat if you need, and then hand wash using at least two gallons of warm or hot water with detergent.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Believe it or not, you don\u2019t want to use too much detergent. \u201cCheck the ingredient list and make sure it has enzymes and an optical whitener in addition to the cleaning agents,\u201d Gagliardi says. \u201cMake sure you add the right amount. Using too much can cause over-sudsing, which cushions the load and reduces cleaning performance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re engaging in anal play, you\u2019re likely going to come in contact with poop. It happens. You\u2019re dealing with the hole that poop comes out of. Get over it and move on, so you can enjoy yourself.<\/p>\n<p>That being said, there are things to consider when it comes to cleaning up sheets that have fecal matter on them. \u201cFirst, rinse away excess solids with cool water,\u201d Gagliardi tells us. \u201cThen, wash white bleach-safe fabrics with the hottest water recommended on the care label, plus a half cup of bleach. After it’s done, air dry, and check it out.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But remember, semen and bleach don’t mix! If there is semen mixed with the fecal matter, bleach is a no-go.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes sex comes along with a little spotting, or perhaps you simply enjoy period sex. While period sex is normal and healthy, it can do a number on your sheets. It\u2019s best to use a rattier, older set of sheets if you have your period, or throw an old towel underneath the location where you’re having sex.<\/p>\n<p>Alas, you can\u2019t always prepare for surprises. Blood happens sometimes, especially in cases where not enough foreplay took place. It\u2019s important to first rinse the blood stain with cold water to get as much of the blood out as possible, and then add a stain remover, such as OxiClean Versatile Stain Remover Powder. Then let it sit. \u201cWait 10 minutes, and then rinse in cool water,\u201d Gagliardi says. \u201cIf the stain is fresh, repeat the process again, and then finally wash the item in warm water using detergent.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If you happen to get period blood on your walls, here’s one of my tried-and-true tricks: A Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. It removes blood stains from wallpaper, painted walls, and drywall like a charm.<\/p>\n<h2>Having sex without lube is like having a Moscow Mule without ginger beer\u2014not as good and probably uncomfortable.<\/h2>\n<p>When the lube spills, or it drips on the sheets from your hands or body, you\u2019ll want to tailor the cleanup to the ingredients in the lube. Water-based and oil-based lubes are pretty straightforward. \u201cFor most oil- and water-based lubricant stains, you can <a href=\"https:\/\/redtube.zone\/category\/big-cock\/\">hd big cock porn video<\/a> go about your normal laundering process,\u201d Miller says. \u201cSimilar to cleaning bodily fluid stains, try blotting the soiled area with a damp white cotton towel using a mixture of cold water and an enzyme detergent.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to silicone lube, things are a little more complicated but removal is totally doable. Before you wash your sheets, you\u2019ll want to pretreat the area. \u201cIt\u2019s recommended to pre-treat the area on dry fabric with a general stain remover, such as Shout,” Miller tells SELF. “You can then apply an enzyme detergent, or even Dawn dish soap, onto the stain.”<\/p>\n<p>Lubricant should be cleaned up quickly from fabrics. If you let a lube stain set, it will likely stay put no matter how much you wash it, Miller says.<\/p>\n<p>For the times when stains leak through your sheets, there are a few options for cleanup. You can use a damp cotton towel dipped in an \u201cenzyme detergent or with a DIY stain removal paste made by combining cold water, dish detergent, baking soda, and over-the-counter hydrogen peroxide,\u201d Miller says. (Always carefully read labels before mixing chemical ingredients at home.) He advises that you work from the outer edges of the stain inward. \u201cBlot the area with the paste and the stain should begin to disappear,\u201d he says. A pro tip: Get a mattress protector. You simply pull it off every few weeks or months months and toss it in the washing machine.<\/p>\n<p>Whatever your sex mess might be, there is a way around it. Just pay attention to the type of stain you\u2019re dealing with and have patience with the cleanup.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tips for Cleaning Up After Sex Gets Messy You’ve …<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[965],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.clilight.com\/cn\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10727"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.clilight.com\/cn\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.clilight.com\/cn\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.clilight.com\/cn\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.clilight.com\/cn\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10727"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/www.clilight.com\/cn\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10727\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10728,"href":"http:\/\/www.clilight.com\/cn\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10727\/revisions\/10728"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.clilight.com\/cn\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10727"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.clilight.com\/cn\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10727"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.clilight.com\/cn\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10727"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
