Recently when I left the hospital they pulled out my IV line releasing a flood of blood which soaked my blouse and the nurses. They told me to us Hydrogen Peroxide to take it out because that's what they use. It worked.

I've taken blood out of white carpet using peroxide with great results!

this really works...when you prick yourself with a needle, spit on it immediately....

I know this might sound strange, but if you get your blood on something, if you would put your saliva on it and work it with your finger, it will take out the blood. Of course, your grandmother would have to do it, since it is hers.

Obviously I was late in posting this!!

I am an RN. Your own saliva will remove your own blood.

I agree with Quilt Mom. The "spit" has always worked for me.

When you prick your finger and get blood on what you are working on, use a little of your own saliva on the spot immediately. For some reason, it takes out the spot.

I know if I prick a finger and get blood on a fabric I just use my own spit. Put some on my finger and put on the spot. Usually comes out right away. It has to be the spit of the person who bled on it. I'm not sure if it works on dried blood but could be worth a try. Can't remember where I learned this but it truly does work.
I apologize if this grosses anyone out.
