293. It was narrated that 'Adī bin Dīnār said: "I heard Umm Qais bint Miḥsan say that she asked the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ about menstrual blood that gets on one's clothes. He said: 'Scratch it with a stick and wash it with water and lotus leaves.'" (Saḥīḥ)
292 - أَخْبَرَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الْمِقْدَامِ ثَابِتٌ الْحَدَّادُ، عَنْ عَدِيِّ بْنِ دِينَارٍ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أُمَّ قَيْسٍ بِنْتَ مِحْصَنٍ أَنَّهَا سَأَلَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ دَمِ الْحَيْضِ يُصِيبُ الثَّوْبَ؟ قَالَ: «حُكِّيهِ بِضِلَعٍ وَاغْسِلِيهِ بِمَاءٍ وَسِدْرٍ»

The use of lote-tree leaves along with water is meant for greater cleanliness; otherwise, water by itself is enough. In modern times, soap could be used so that the traces of blood may also be removed.
