Just uber-bleached an old bloodstain in hot water. Definitely a no-no. I wanted to do a biz boil, but have no idea where to find biz in France. Read some stuff on the internet and went out to buy the strongest Hydrogen peroxide they had at the pharmacy. Applied, little bit of scrubbing and I can no longer tell where the strain is. Don't know if I would try this on colored things, since the bottle is marked for bleaching, but it worked great on a white item I thought was ruined. ps- the shampoo thing does work on fresh stains.

Barkeepers friend works great on whites and zout which I got at the dollar store has taken out many old stains I could not get out with anything else on colors.

I have tried Peroxide, Vinegar and a stain remover but the blood is still there. What do I try now? The blood has been on the chair for about 8 months so it is difficult to remove.

Clear ammonia and water works well. I managed to remove a lot of blood from a brand new recliner chair a few years back with the solution. I would not use sudsy ammonia due to all the soapy residue.

PEROXIDE WILL WORK. TEST SMALL AREA OF COLORED FABRIC FIRST. I HAVE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH IT BLEACHING COLORED CLOTHES THOUGH. GOOD LUCK.

Blood - Pre-soak in cold or warm water water at least 30 minutes. If stain remains, soak in lukewarm ammonia water (3 Tbs. per Gallon of water). Rinse. If stain remains, work in detergent and wash, using bleach safe for fabric.
Blood stains, if fresh, may be removed by washing in cold water. If hard and dry steep for a few hours in cold water, to which add a pinch of baking soda. Washing and bleaching will finish the process. Never put blood stains in hot water (11/14/2006)

Simple Green used as directed on label will remove just about any kind of stain from any material without damage. I have used it to completely remove old dried menstrual blood. It is one of the safest and most effective products I have ever used. When purchased by the gallon and diluting as appropriate for the task, it is very economical. (11/15/2006)

I've used perioxide on everything from undies to slips and shirts, it really works. But, they've all been white or off white. Don't know how it does on colors. (11/16/2006)

Any idea how to remove set blood stains from poly/cotton material? My daughter's expensive tennis shorts may be ruined!
Thanks.

Of course set stains are a real pain, but if they are white you might have a chance. Believe it or not, saliva works to break down blood proteins, so try that first. Then you might try hydrogen peroxide. I cleaned a white mattress by this method and you can not even tell where the stain was. Good luck! (04/05/2006)

Try soaking it overnight in cold water and lots of salt. It's worked for me before. (04/05/2006)

Two words... Oxy Clean! This is a miracle product that has removed lots of stains that I would not have thought that it would work on. I soak lots of items in it to remove stains, including baby clothes that have poopy stains, a bedspread that had a blood stain on it, etc. It contains a form of hydrogen peroxide, so it should be effective in removing blood stains from tennis shorts. The cleaner does not contain chlorine bleach, so it won't harm the colors of clothing. (04/05/2006)

RE: Blood Stains on Clothing
This is a tried and true formula from the old Tightwad Gazette book that I've used before on old blood stains and it worked great.
Add one cup of powdered Cascade and Clorox II to five gallons of the hottest water you can draw from your tap. Soak items overnight and launder as usual. Great for removing food stains too, but don't use on delicate fabrics or fabrics that aren't colorfast. You can store this and reuse it if you like.
Hope this helps! (04/05/2006)

I'm not sure what "tennis shorts" are and you didn't say what color they were. If they are white - Peroxide. That's what we used in the nursing home when we got blood on our uniforms. (04/05/2006)

RE: Blood Stains on Clothing
Yeah, I have used peroxide for years on my whites. It just bubbles the stain away! I have also found that "shout" works well for lots of stains around here. I buy the kind that has the brush built in to the top and it saves time. (04/05/2006)

RE: Blood Stains on Clothing
If the shorts are colored, try OxyClean. (04/05/2006)

If it's simply a blood stain, soak it in cold water before washing. (04/06/2006)
