what gets blood out of clothes besides bleach and peroxide?
Answers:
Bleach will not get it out. Go to the hardware store and get rust remover. It will take out even old stains. Use a tablespon or so in a gallon of water.

1 Scrape and remove excessive stain using a spoon.
2 Mix half a teaspoon of an enzyme detergent with one cup of COLD water. Apply it to the stain and leave for 5-10 minutes Rinse with warm water. You may have to rinse it several times to completely remove the residues. Do not use warm or hot water as it may set the stain !
3 Mix two tablespoons of household ammonia in one cup of water. Apply it to the stain and leave it for less than a minute. Blot using soft, absorbent, white material such as paper towel or napkin.
4 Repeat STEP 2
5 Apply rust remover or oxalic acid solution(diluted in water) and blot using soft, absorbent, white material such as paper towel or napkin.
6 Apply a small amount of 3% hydrogen peroxide (commonly available in the drug or grocery stores) and leave it for 2-5 minutes. Blot using soft, absorbent, white material such as paper towel or napkin.
if the blood is not dry run the clothing under cold water, you may have to rub the sides of the cloth together to get more of the blood out
Amonia mixed with a little laundry detergent (no bleach mixing!) works if you catch it before it's washed and dried. It's also great for ring around the collar. No, really!
try lestoil, let it soak on the stain and then wash
Greased Lightning works very well.
If the item hasn't been washed and then dried in a dryer, use running cold water at the sink. Rub some soap into the stain if you want. You can also try lemon juice to remove the blood, just rinse the item well when you are through.
cheap stain remover crap that your wubby's mother in law bought at pic-n-save, your wubby's washer and drier....voila! no more blood...
