question from my grandma
My grandma is very sick and in the hospital. She took her embroidery work and is finishing a tablerunner and accidently got some spots of blood on it from her IV line. She is very upset and doesnt know how to get it out and feels it is ruined. It was gonna be a present for my sibling. I told her I would ask you sweet people if you had any ideas on how to remove blood stains from very white embroidery linens.
Thank you very much it is much appreciated.

If plain old COLD water doesn't do the trick, then go for the peroxide. Try the lightest water/peroxide solution you can first and work your way up full strength peroxide. Make sure you rinse the fabric thoroughly with cold water after as the peroxide can deteriorate fabric over time.

I have had wonderful results with Oxi Clean laundry Stain Remover on blood stains. Just spray a little on the spots and it bubbles up and then rinse out. I have also cleaned old quilt blocks with the same results.

For future reference -
This sounds unusual, but is an OLD trick...
When you prick your finger and get blood on what you are working on, use a little of your own saliva on the spot immediately. For some reason, it takes out the spot.
