    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.

    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?

    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.
