Perhaps you cut yourself shaving or scraped yourself working in the yard-whatever the reason, you have bled on your clothing and need to get it out. While the stain is still fresh, the best way to remove it is by using H2O2-Hydrogen Peroxide. Soak a cotton ball or cloth and scrub the spot and you’ll be surprised how effective it is in getting the stain out. I’m not sure this will work on all types of material but for cotton’s and linens I know it will work. If the blood is dried then the old fashioned soaking he garment in cold water is still the best method and then perhaps using the hydrogen peroxide.
Goood Luck!
If you bleed on your clothes or blood drips on a sheet or carpet, simply rub the area with a lemon, wipe, rub, wipe until blood vanishes.
I use cold water and bleach and soke for a while
For a fresh blood stain just put a dap of spit on the stain and the enzymes from your spit will take away the stain.
I know this sounds really weird (and maybe gross) but spit on the stain where the blood is, add a little bit of antibacterial soap and a little water and rub the material against itself. It works everytime for me.
The best thing I have ever found to take out blood stains is salt and water. This works on most fabrics, but silk or satin is best handled by a professional. Get the blood stain wet with cool water. Pour salt directly onto the stain and make a paste. Rub in to the cloth. Let sit for an hour or 2 (or soak overnight if it’s a set-in stain), making sure that the salt stays moist. Wash as usual.
never rinse with hot or warm water- this causes the blood to coagulate and therefore set in; use cold water
if using spit, it has to come from the person that produces the blood, it only works with your own enzymes.
Murphy’s Oil Soap does the trick every time, unless the stain is so set in that it’s black. Just put a little of it directly on the stain and use some elbow grease to scrub the stain against the fabric, to grind the soap into the stain. It really works.
For females, a weird tip for menstruation stains is to use meat tenderizer on the stain – takes it right out!
Spitting
That spit trick saved my dress shirt. I was at work and didn’t have access to hydrogen peroxide, but spit and anti-bacterial soap worked beautifully. Thanks!
Spit
I spit on the blood on one of my t-shirts and then applied a drop of anti-bacterial dish soap and scrubed it by hand under a running facet. It worked great!
Ice- yes, ice
Rub ice on the blood, then merely wipe it up. Once my dog crashed through the front glass door, then ran all over the off-white living room rug. We rubbed ice on each spot and wiped it up with paper towels. And kept the door shut.
spit, blood & no tears
Used the spit/saliva method to very easily clean
several one hour old stains on a white dress shirt.
Just rubbed it a little and the stains dissolved.
Thanks to the above posters.
