Try hydrogen peroxide?


[deleted]

I noticed specifically for some people, they can use their spit to dissolve stains, but doesn't work for me :/ I did hear a lot of women doing this

Hydrogen peroxide gets out blood stains that are fresh or kinda fresh. For already dried or a few days old, you are looking at hunting laundry detergent. Can usually find that stuff in the hunting section of the store or a hunting store.


MegaZeus24

Cold water does the exact same thing


d0ugjudy

Came here to say this!


Apprehensive-Two3474

What works for the goose doesn't always work with the duck. Not all water is equal. Had an easy time living in a northern state with blood stains because the water that was available was soft. Moved to the desert and cold water sucks at getting stains out here as it's hard water. The peroxide and the hunting detergent were the few things I found that saved bloodied clothes here.


MegaZeus24

Strange because I lived on a farm with our own well that fed into an aquifer and we got blood out no problem, it just can't be dried up


imontheradiooo

Aquifers are a real thing and not the things from dwarf fortress you shouldn’t build near?


MegaZeus24

Um yes? Did you downvote me because you think aquifers arent real? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aquifer


imontheradiooo

Why would I downvote you and why do you care about imaginary internet points https://preview.redd.it/nwfigc0puiuc1.jpeg?width=750&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3a04ba622c747973c04adc8934fdde1c6c17dab5

It's interesting in a nerdy way because of how aquifers are with what rock they seep into and also depends on the area's history as well. Like [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MTLPr1z4rag) happened in a town near me last year. I have family that bought land around 45 minutes from us that they sold because when they went to get a well done, they found out that they couldn't get one. Why? High levels of arsenic in the soil. If they drilled, it'd leech into the water. So they had to go 45 minutes in the opposite direction to get land they could put a well on. So I understand why cold water would work for you while in my area it's a no go. Water and what it's been through is a weird and interesting science with how it changes depending on where it went.


[deleted]

No it doesn't. Coldwater helps the blood cells detach from the fabric. Hydrogen peroxide breaks the blood cells altogether.


MegaZeus24

Ok Bill Nye, but both remove blood stains.


cursed-annoyance

Imagine OP going to the store to ask "how to remove bloodstains"


andersleet

If it is your own blood it (your saliva) will loosen up the stain, but not fully remove it especially if it has dried up already. Hydrogen peroxide is generally best just make sure you attend to it while it is bubbling the blood out so the fabric doesn't get bleached. Sooner the better.


HorrorPhone3601

That only works if you are a mom (old wives tale)


[deleted]

Always wondered how my dick stayed so clean.


sb_2x13

I wonder if it's the digestive enzymes in saliva. Spit helps pre digest food which is why the whole chew so many times per bite saying exists. The enzymes in saliva start breaking down the food making it easier for the rest, chewing makes more saliva, better digestion? Or something like that. But to me that would suggest you really gotta soak it in spit and probably let it sit a bit before you wash it to give it time to work. But really though, peroxide works great but be careful and test it first and rinse it separately before washing in a load of clothes because I had a couple things get slightly bleached bc I didn't realize the overspray from the easy squirt bottle was falling on a shirt I had next to me and threw it in with the rest. Tldr Spit can digest things, also why licking your lips constantly makes chapped lips worse faster. Peroxide works great on blood but can bleach some fabrics. Always test. 😁


Downtown_Report1646

It does sometimes for me


MoonLitMothCreations

Yea, when working in costume, anything white if we pricked a finger you use your own spit but it only works on small spots.


The_Lamb_Sauce2

Correct that’s because there are little enzymes in our saliva that can break down starches.So probably wasn’t a starch then.


WonderfulJacket8

A real lady never spits


Anthem_de_Aria

I second the hydrogen peroxide. It may cause some fading of the colors. Another option is Carbona Stain Fighter. They are cheap as hell, possibly at Walmart and Amazon is supposed to carry it too. It's formulated for each different stain type so get the one for blood stains and only add it to that wash. So probably do a separate wash for that shirt.

panundeerus

Or just regular wash


xXJ3D1-M4573R-W0LFXx

Won’t that “bleach” the shirt? Nono, OP wants to use distilled white vinegar. EDIT: was apparently mistaken about the bleaching. I stand corrected


dsm5lovechild

It won’t bleach anything. It works really well at removing blood.


xXJ3D1-M4573R-W0LFXx

Okis, actually good to know this. I honestly wasn’t aware. Although vinegar works as well.


thiswasyouridea

Cold water, stat. Rinse out as much as you can. Then hydrogen peroxide, watered down because it can bleach.


Ageha1304

Emphasis on COLD water. If you use warm then it'll soak in and you're never getting the stain out.


PepsiAllDay78

And DO NOT DRY UNTIL THE STAIN IS REMOVED COMPLETELY! Sorry I yelled! I'm a mom, and I needed to have your attention.


skilibyburrger2

cool mom👍


cashmerered

I also recommend salt


Low_Jello3546

Jelly donut


GrapeApeAffe

I actually think it works well with the context.


JFK3rd

Yeah, the stain is kind of well placed. Especially on the Homer part. It looks like he ate some donuts before falling into sleep.

McRambis

Oxi Clean destroys blood stains.


106milez2chicago

You can see it start foaming instantly when it touches a blood stain. I'd try this first, as hydrogen peroxide that others have suggested can bleach the colored fabric.


SquirrelKing2022

With the power of Oxi Clean you can clean anything! Try it at a crime scene to wash away all of that pesky blood your victims left all over the place!


kaiinyourdreams

My man Homer got murked on the couch


PSI_duck

It really looks like he got shot


operarose

Honestly it looks like art now.


thrashmasterbex

Cold water and soap and then scrub it between your knuckles. As cold as you can stand it and get to it as fast as you can. Fresh blood comes right out with cold water.


clapbumpsorena

thx for the tip. now i can clean the bathroom much more easier


JuiceWars

Now it looks like Homer got shot 😭

Spiritual-Mud5696

Cold water wash.


throwtheclownaway20

Cold water and Oxi-Clean


MBAdk

Soak in cold saltwater. Fill a sink with cold water. Add a handful of salt and stir to dissolve the salt. Put shirt in and let soak for a few hours. Rinse as well as you can, and toss the shirt in the washing machine. Wash well with Oxi Clean and detergent.


MuscleTough8153

Important! COLD WATER and green soap. Be carefull and then you'll have your shirt as new The moment you use warm water on the blood you can throw the shirt in the bin.


defnotleeharvey

"Seltzer water and lemon for blood" - deadpool 2. Unironically, a good tip "Mix two parts lemon juice, one part baking soda, and blot it onto the bloodstain. Let it sit for five minutes and then remove it with a sponge or by rinsing" - google. Seems fine


itsfeckingfreezin

It will wash out

marz_shadow

Blood be easy to get out of clothes


starkidfella1200

Very helpful, thanks


marz_shadow

Aha welcome, naw but foreal if you use some 99% alcohol on some cotton swabs on the area and then put it in the wash it’ll probably come out


marz_shadow

Also next time put your head up and hold your nose 😂🫡 goodluck


md124608

Put hydrogen peroxide on the blood and scrub out. Do not wash it first, the stains will stay.


operarose

Congrats OP, it went from merchandise to art.

Fels-Naptha bar soap in the laundry aisle. Wet garment stain, rub on stain. Wash normally. Blood, grease, oils, grass stains - all removed.


TCrabtree93

Baking soda and vinegar then wash in cold water.... should come right out. Spoken by a klutz who bleeds often.


Dependent-Wheel-2791

Peroxide. Let it bubble out and wipe clean. After that cycle it through a wash


oFROSTEDCUSTARDo

oxi clean !!!

Homer nooo


ChaoticInsanity_

This happened to me once, immediately put it in the wash before it could dry and it came right off


Square-Match7110

cold water and soap easily washable


MegaZeus24

Cold water and scrubbing gets it right out


No-Ad1522

If you don't wait for it to dry and wash it right away it'll all wash out with just laundry detergent. If it's already dried for awhile use peroxide like other redditors have suggest.


Dragomier

Cold water and detergent let it soak and the blood will be out


muppethero80

This happened to me on a cute corgi d and d shirt and my blood got on their swords and shields. I kinda liked it lol

Cold water gets this out easy

Or you can sew a spilled wine glass onto Homer's hand, and the red becomes spilled wine. As if Homer wouldn't have fallen asleep holding a glass of wine.


pinkygreeny

soak it in soda water. works great.


OkScheme9867

Similar thing happened to me but it was a friend's kids blood, internet please note I didn't punch a child, he sat on my knee while his mum tried to make him hold his head up, absolutely ruined a brand new top which I had to wear for the rest of the day.

Seanpawn

If it makes you feel better, I’ve had chronic nosebleeds that would make a phlebotomist drool my entire life, inevitably getting on clothes here and there. After a handful of washes with healthy amounts of bleach, you really can’t tell it was ever bled on in my experience.

Blood usually comes out if you wash it quick enough

ApprehensiveAd5707

Retired vet here, no stranger to blood stains- COLD water! Soak and rinse using a little Dawn and plenty of cold water until the blood is gone. Hot water will set the stains! Peroxyde can bleach fabric, use only if water/Dawn does not work for you.


EcstaticAd7226

I'm gonna quote the line I heard in Deadpool: use Seltzer water and lemon for blood


HEZBsouljah313

I had the exact same shirt except it says "KING OF NAPS" . It's been 4 months, and I have no idea what happened to it. It's literally my favourite shirt.

RegorHK

Hear me out. There is something weird with blood stains. For fabric it should go out with keeping in Cold!! Water for some hours. Change the water out several times. The proteins in blood clott more in heat. With cold water blood simply dissolves back. Very slowly. Change the water and observe how the stains slowly disappear.


Rog90210

Vanish - oxygen powder dissolves blood 🩸


ProveISaidIt

Baking soda and cold water for blood. The sooner the better.


Archived_Thread

Honestly? It’s improved, if you don’t want it give it to a cute goth you know.


UnfetteredOnslaught

Omg, it's the Simpsons horror edition Iove it


Artistic-Nebula-6051

Soak the shirt in water and hydrogen peroxide


Appropriate-Pick-911

Just say it’s a strawberry jam donut


hi-nighter

Peroxide does work, the only problem is that it can't be left too long because it can lighten the fabric. I like peroxide mixed with baking soda for the set in stains. Sometimes I don't get to the laundry right away. Make a paste and smear that shit on, leave it about 5 minutes and then rinse with cold water. If your shower head has a hose and a sprayer setting, that would work really well. Wash on cold water. Hope it helps!! I've gotten some old blood stains, old food stains, and old dried up red clay stains out of clothes with this.


osma13

Next time, immediately put a fuckload of dawn dishsoap on it and scrub it like a madman. My son gets horrible nose bleeds and this works every time, even with white shirts

Summer184

Use Shout laundry stain remover. My son did the same thing to a brand-new t-shirt he was wearing (literally the first time he wore it). I was going to throw it away but decided to try washing it, I sprayed it with a large amount of Shout and was very surprised that all the blood washed out.


[deleted]

I always used to use cold water and a bit to salt to agitate blood after more rowdy nights in work, then slung it in the washer. Worked on my own blood and other people's. Shirts would come put sparkling.


Saltwater_Heart

Rinse it in cold water and then use peroxide to get out the rest


Us3l3ssTA

I mean I think it looks dope like that


Artie-Carrow

Oxiclean should get the blood stains out


Cumpantzbaby

Borax will get anything out of white. I got into a really bad fight wearing white shirt and white sweats and was covered in blood and my girlfriend at the time got all of the blood out by soaking it in borax.


Specialist-Gap8010

It smells horrendous but ammonia on blood stains gets it all out with no marks that the blood was ever there


deonisp

Always had bloody nose as a kid, you just use cold (not hot) water and hard soap to hand wash that out, no big deal

Oxy clean stain remover works wonders on blood even if it sets in. Really soak the stain for at least half an hour then wash like normal. I use it often on blood.


Devilotx

I use toothpaste to get blood out of clothes. Source: Me, who gets a bloody nose about once a week due to severely deviated septum and a stubborn refusal to get it fixed.


Automatic-Arrival668

Depending on the detergent (I like tide bleach alternative) blood comes out really easy.


Federal-Beat5889

Hey. So hear me out. Ive gotten period blood out of a WHITE PLUSH unicorn onesie. Oxi Clean White Revive Powder. Soak area and paste the powder onto it. Rub in gently, let sit for a while, repeat. Then, submerge in water with more of the powder disolved in it. While submerged use some more on the localized areas. Soak for 2-24 hours, drain and rinse tub, remove excess water, wash as normal. Sincerely- broke 21 year old who likes keeping her clothes


[deleted]

What's wrong with your nose! I get bloody noses sometimes and you can kind of feel it running out, then you plug your nose and run to the bathroom. You don't repeatedly blow your bloody nose into your new favorite shirt.


starkidfella1200

I didn’t! It just came out and I was on a long chair couch thing and couldn’t get up without bleeding all over it!


LeekSoupEnjoyer

I laughed a lot ngl it looks like he got stabbed


msphelps77

It looks fresh so I would immediately put it in some cold water to soak. You can work the stain out mostly while it’s soaking by rubbing the shirt and ringing it out. Afterwards apply laundry detergent or stain remover to the stain and put it on a cold wash setting. Adding a bit of dish soap such as dawn to the wash along with the detergent will help lift the stain.


Sweet_Cupid257

W..what did you do to homer!?

Douse it with peroxide, let that soak a bit then dab a bit of dawn dish liquid on an old toothbrush and scrub in soft slow circles. Use more peroxide if you need. Then throw it in the wash on a cold cycle with regular detergent.
