try a SHOUT wipe.

Put some Shout liquid on a qtip and gently rub it. Sometimes Peroxide works but if it doesn't try the Shout.

I have had that happened to me at my church sewing group and one of the ladies had gotten this stuff called awesome at the dollar store and put a little on her finger and rubbed it in and it came right out. I was amazed. I am getting me a bottle. Hope this helps.

That happened to me when aI was making Christmas gifts. I took a little peroxcide on a q-tip and dabbed it. It came right out and never left a spot! Try it. Works great.

Saliva works for me!

I never saw this information about using saliva to remove blood stains until I published it in my own book, Straight Talk About Quilt Care I and now available as Vol. II (an e-book) sold on amazon or my website. It is a tip I learned from a costume designer friend who had worked on off-Broadway shows. She explained that the enzymes in one's OWN saliva will dissolve fresh blood. It is always good to swab cotton surfaces with cold water, after the fact. The method sounds gross but is the most effective and expedient manner to do this.

As A retired Rn I can definitely say to use full strength hydrogen peroxide on the blood spots , will all come out & will not hurt the fabric.

Haha, I did this yesterday. I used a little shout gel and cold water on a washrag. I found that dabbing repeated rather than rubbing worked best to keep the fabric from distorting. It takes a while but have patience.

I put a little hydrogen peroxide on blood stains and it takes the blood out easily.

One of my favourite people and teachers in Montreal, Margaret de Linden said to gather up scraps of white thread, roll them into a ball, moisten it well with saliva, rub the blood specks with it and later with a sponge moistened with water go lightly over it. A friend, also a nurse in the same class said to her it was terribly unsanitary, but who cares, it sure works well!! I now use underneath hand finger protectors, little ovals of tough sandpaper backed with sticky stuff to keep them in place on fingers so need to use this interesting technique less but it works with all colours of fabric when you need it.
