Blood on a cotton shirt.?

[teach1st]

Serious question from a poor bacherlor: What do I do to make sure that blood on a cotton dress shirt doesn't stain?

1. Shout?

3. I shouted when I cut my finger...

...it didn't help.

I'm a bacherlor. No Shout.

4. Cold water, club soda...

Peroxide works, but it can also bleach out the fabric... uhm.... thats all i got

6. Cold water rinse, then peroxide

Wash on hot with oxiclean and make sure the stain's 100% gone before your dry or it will set.

9. Get a bar of soap and cold running water. Wet the stain and

then wipe the bar of soap across the stain so it covers it. Then fold the material in half where it's stained and rub the two halfs against each other - hard like you're scrubbing. Rinse, repeat until all traces of blood are gone. This always works for me.

Whoops, you're fast. Glad it worked for you.
