The hydrogen peroxide does work perfectly. You may need to get a bucket or plastic bowl and let it sit in the hydrogen peroxide overnight, keeping it wet. It works better to let it soak. It willl not hurt the fabric. However, if you ever have a fabric with color, stay with it to make sure it doesn't bleach it out. All washable fabrics are usually very safe with this, but I did ruin one shirt by letting it sit too long.

Ditto on hydrogen peroxide. The 3% volume in the brown bottles that you can get at just about any store.

Try white vinegar.

What is the quickest, most economical way to completely get the set-in blood stains out of my cotton bedding? Dark purple sheets, cream covers, and white mattress pad.

Thank you,

I use peroxide, straight. When it stops foaming, add some more, repeat a few times, then launder as usual. (12/28/2006)

A spray bottle of raw bleach sprayed on some types of carpet will remove blood without taking color out (use a test spot first). (01/07/2009)

How do I remove a blood stain from the mattress cover? Mattress covers are very expensive and I just don't want to throw away. Any suggestions?
