Abstract

The detection and identification of blood and seminal stains on fabrics comprises an important aspect of medico-legal work. There are cases, however, in which an attempt has been made to remove such stains by washing prior to submission to a laboratory for examination. The purpose of this study was to determine the degree to which blood and/or semen are removed from fabric which has been subjected to a variety of washing procedures.
