1.   Cold
water.

Blood is easily cleaned when it’s still fresh. Before blood
dries wash the stained item with cold water and normally used soap or
detergent. Dry with a towel. If necessary, repeat the process.

 2. Cornstarch
Paste.

Make a paste of either cornstarch or cornmeal and water.
Rub the paste into the stain and put in the sun to dry. After the paste has
dried, use a brush to whisk the residue off the fabric.

3. Hydrogen peroxide.

Pour full strength hydrogen peroxide directly onto the
spot. The peroxide will fizz just like it would on an open wound. Blot with a
damp cloth until the stain is gone. 
Rinse out with water and launder as usual. Be aware that peroxide can
bleach clothing, so you may want to test colorfastness in an inconspicuous
place first.

4. Vinegar.

Vinegar poured directly on the stain is one of the most
effective methods to clean blood. Blot until the stain is removed and rinse
with water to remove the vinegar smell.

5. Baking Soda.

Mix up a solution of 1 part baking soda and two parts
water. Blot the stain with the mixture until it’s lifted out of the fabric. Use
a clean damp cloth or sponge to remove the baking soda and then launder.

6. Borax.

Mix ¼ cup borax in 1 cup water and
apply directly to the stain, or mix 1 cup borax in 1 quart of water to soak
your fabric. After the stain is removed rinse well with water, then wash as
usual.
