This has already been washed and dried. Is there any hope in saving both a comforter and sheet set?

It worked beautifully! I just sprayed it on and let it set for a few minutes. Then I rubbed it and tossed it in the washer. There's not a hint of a blood stain on the sweater!

Enzymes are very specific, therefore carbohydrate enzymes can't break down protein enzymes. I'm thinking that your spit possibly works like water to dilute the stain.

I have been able to get blood that has sat on white pants (work scrubs!) for a week out by using one of the little packets in the wash set for a small load. They are also great for getting runners white again. The Tide stain release tabs work great for getting out dried blood and other body fluids.

Supposedly the ammonia breaks down the proteins contained in blood.

Just let the garment soak in cold salt water, if it's an old stain soak it over night. I also soak white nets over night in salt water before washing them the next day - helps get them whiter.

Just rubbed it a little and the stains dissolved. Thanks to the above posters. Used the spit/saliva method to very easily clean several one hour old stains on a white dress shirt.

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.
