I was told years ago that your own saliva will take out blood. It works, on new blood anyway, not sure on dried.
I usually immediately wet the spot with my saliva, and wash in cold water. Presto, the spot is gone.
Don't know if it will work for you, try wetting the spot with cold water, then your saliva, wait a couple of seconds and then wash again, repeat if you need to.
Hope it works, let us know for future reference.

My Mother is on a blood thinner...the nurse who draws test blood samples told her to use Hydrogen Peroxide to take the blood out of her shirt when Mom had bled out on it....We used a cotton swab to dab just the blood and it worked wonders...dab let set a min the wash immediately...dbl check spots BEFORE drying and repeat if necess. Hope this helps, Paulett

not dollar store brand... it is about 3.00 a bottle. spray. let it set, if does not come out spray again maybe 2-3 times. stain will come out, blood, coffee, red sauce, it is the best. after it is out you can saturate with a damp cloth. continue your work, then machine wash. :) try it. I suggested this to another ladie and it sure worked, said she will never be without it. Cotton is cotton, People have done harsh things to cotton in quilts. they seem to survive. :)
