Blot the stain immediately with paper towels. If it is a dry clean only garment make sure you do not pretreat the stain and get it as fast as you can to the cleaners. Pretreatment of the stain can cause irreversable damage and the dry cleaner may not be able to remove the stain.
Combine 1 teaspoon laundry soap or pretreatment (or dish soap, like Dawn) and 1 cup hydrogen peroxide in a small bowl. Soak a clean sponge in the mixture, squeeze it halfway dry, then gently blot the stain.
Air dry. Do not use your dryer. The heat can make the stain set in if it does not come out the first time you try to clean it. If you air dry it and it does not come out you still have the option to take it to your cleaners because the stain has not set in.

on 7/3/2008 Honestly nothing works better on a blood stain on clothes than your own saliva. It has to be your blood and your saliva though otherwise for some reason it doesn't work. But trust me. I had a blood stain on my pajamas, so I spat on it, and it literally disolved, put it in the washing machine, and nows theres no trace left :) Dont believe me? Try it :D

on 5/26/2008 I have had to deal with quite a few blood stains in my day. Having 3 boys under ten, this does tend to happen. This may seem a little crazy but this works unlike any other treatment. Urine... yes people urine works the best. Just use a liberal amount to the stained garment and its gone. I learned this trick from my grandmother and never understood it until I questions my brother-in-law, a chemist. After a 30 min. lecture is was tought why this is the most effective aproaach to the much hated BLOOD STAIN!!!!!!!!!!

on 3/13/2008 Step 1: placed my garment in the sink and poured hydrogen peroxide concentrate (approx 5 caps full or slightly more, allowing the garment area to be submerged) Step 2: I used an old toothbrush and attacked the stains and they came right out. Step 3: I rinsed the garment again in cold water to dilute and rid the extra peroxide. Step 4 I prepared normal washing instructions. Note: I caught the stain within the first 10 minutes because I had a nose bleed. On the long standing stains, I did not have the same results. Good luck!
