Removing Blood

Have you ever had a bloody nose that dripped on your white shirt? A cut you wiped on your jeans? Someone Else's blood on your favorite coat? Well what ever the case may be there is a way to remove those blood stains. Shampoo from your house will remove 90-100% of those stains. I found that suave seems to work the best, however, any shampoo will work. Before you put your clothes in the washer, run cold water on the blood area, then apply shampoo to the material containing blood. You can use an old toothbrush to work up a lather and rub the shampoo into the material, but I just use my hands. I fold the material where the shampoo is and rub the material together, working up a lather and penetrating the material with shampoo. Then rinse the shampoo off with cold water to see how much was lifted. If there is still a definite spot rub to a lather again and rinse. This make take a few times to achieve desired visibility. When the spot is almost or completely non existent place the garment into the wash and run the cycle. When the garment has finished in the washer check the area to ensure the stain was removed before putting in the dryer. If the spot is still there repeat the cold water and shampoo mix once more and return to the washer. Once you place the item in the dryer, you will not be able to remove the stain. The heat will set the stain in the material for life.
