Question: How many times should clothing be washed to remove Najaasat (impurities such as stool or blood)?

Answer: If a Najaasat which can be seen, such as stool or blood, falls on clothing (or on the body), it should be washed until the Najaasat is removed and no stain remains. There is no limit to the number of times it should be washed - the moment the Najaasat is removed, it will be become pure.
N.B. It is preferable to wash the item up to three times if the Najaasat was removed in merely one or two washes. (Bahisti Zewar Page 53)

And Allah Knows Best
