A friend told me that an equal measure of peroxide and amonia mix will remove almost any stain. Ive only used it once, but that was a large stain of red food coloring. I sprayed the cushion from my kitchen chair at first, and used the sprayer on it and a lot of it ran out, but not quite all of the stain. I tried other stain removers, no luck, went back to the peroxide and ammonia, set it outside to wait. stain totally gone, sprayed other areas where the food coloring had run onto the cushion and it is all gone. I really didn't want to have to make 6 new cushion covers.

Try hydrogen peroxide directly on the stain. It should get it out as long as you have not put the garment in the dryer. Hope that helps!

No way!!!! I have to try this. I have used Oxyclean on a tshirt with many times-washed and dryer dried blood stains. I had to soak for a few days but it actually came out... However, the dh cuts himself frequently and gets blood on the pillowcases. Next time, he spits on it.... Thanks for the tip.

Lots of good tips here. I do know from a very bad personal experience that if you try different tips, be sure to rinse before each different product. DH got blood on the boarder of a Feed Sack Quilt and I didn't notice it until "later". Bc I used different things without rinsing after each treatment I made the stain worse. My favorite is Oxyclean. I always have things soaking in a tub of Oxyclean. Right now I have three dish rags and a pair of capris soaking until next wash day.

This is what I always do also. Works for me every time and nothing to buy.

And use -Shout-give it a good squirt wait 10 minutes and wash in cold water this has worked on every fabric in my wardrobe and quilts

I made a purse that was to be donated and as I was taking photos I noticed a spot of blood(guess I poked myself and didn't notice it was bleeding) on the white , front and center, I mixed up oxyclean and using a rag I dabbed away until the blood was gone.
Blood on a quilt I always use the old fashioned technique, Chew a wad of thread and use it to take the blood off. Works every time.
I am going to try the enzymes though I already have those in the house. And I am getting some hydrogen peroxide. :-)
You can never be too prepared.

Amonia will take out blood and will not harm most fabrics--not even a wedding gown--I used to work at a drycleaners.

I always use meat tenderizer. Wet the area and then cover with tenderizer. Keep repeating 'til stain out. Have used that for years.

cool waterand rub, peroxide, grandma's secret spot remover. I have had success with all of these. Grandma's has even worked on spots I have missed after the article has been in the dryer....just takes a little more rubbing. I LOVE the stuff. It can be found at various craft shops and quilt shops. Here's a link about it..... http://www.solutions.com/jump.jsp?it...emType=PRODUCT
