Her own salvia applied to the blood stains will get it out. Blood and salvia has to be from the same person.

I have discovered a product called Awesome that works really well for me. I found it at Dollar General, but have seen it in other stores, too.

I had also heard that Hydrogen Peroxide will take stains out so I tried a little bit of it and it did not remove the stain but did remove the color from the fabric as well as leaving a hole in the fabric.

My Doctor told me years ago to remove blood use hydrogen peroxide, make sure the threads are color fast do a test first with the peroxide first good luck

Is saliva from person A that much different than saliva from person B?

If push came to shove, could person A's saliva remove a small blood stain made from person B's blood?

I told her I would ask you sweet people if you had any ideas on how to remove blood stains from very white embroidery linens.
Thank you very much it is much appreciated.

Don't know if this has been mentioned yet - but I used to donate Plasma, sometimes the workers would get blood on them, and they would take a few drops of the saline solution to get it out.

Get her a little bottle of glycerin at the drugstore. Pour a few drops on the blood and let it sit overnight, then wash the item. This works very well on tablecloths and napkins, too. I used to keep a bottle in the top drawer of my buffet, and if someone spilled meat juice or wine on the tablecloth, I'd immediately pour it on the spot. If it's a large spot, just rub it around with your fingers. It works every time. Peroxide also usually works well, but be careful that it doesn't damage the fabric.
