getting blood out of clothes?

[Proverbs31]

ds bit his tongue badly last night, and there was a LOT of blood. how do I wash it out, using natural tools? what temp water? will soap or stain stick set it? should I use hydrogen peroxide, or will that bleach the clothes?

[ArmsOfLove]

I was going to say hydrogen peroxide :shrug

[monkeylicious]

cold and try putting salt on the spots

[blossomnatalia]

peroxide... :yes

[Proverbs31]

so the peroxide won't fade the shirt's colors/pattern like bleach would? :nails

[Blue Savannah]

I would try ice cold water first. That's always worked well for me. I think peroxide would fade out the colors. It would be great on whites.

What about oxy-clean?

[blossomnatalia]

I never had it fade the colors.... :shrug
but it won't hurt to try the cold water first :yes

What about oxy-clean?

Yes, this. Peroxide has turned some of my darker colors orange-y before. I'd try the cold water first.

Wash it in cold water first :yes

[Proverbs31]

thank you all. :)

[Firebird Rising]

i know i'm late but when we got blood on our scrubs and couldn't change, we used saline.

[Blue Savannah]

Did it come out?

[Proverbs31]

not all the way, still working on it. I've used salt, cold water, stain stick, washed it in the washer a couple of times. all those have helped--thank you! I'm hoping another round or two will do the trick.
