Many people cringe at the sight of blood and prefer not to look at it at all. But accidents happen sometimes, and almost all of us at one point or another realize that blood has ended up on our clothing. If you are someone who really hates to see blood, this might mean you will want to throw the stained clothing directly into the trash can and never wear it again. Blood isn't exactly the easiest thing to get out of fabric, after all.
This isn't the best option for your stained clothes, however. There are ways to clean most bloodstains from fabric. In most cases the article of clothing will look as nice as it did before the stain happened.

The above process works best on blood stains that are fairly fresh. There are also other tricks you can try if soap and water alone don't get the stain out. One possibility is bleach, which works well but should be used with care. Lemon with salt is a more natural approach you can use for bleaching the blood out of the fabric. Hydrogen peroxide has also been known to work with blood stain removal. Of course, there are always stain removers that can be found at the store if you prefer that method.
