How do you get blood stains out of satin material?
This I heard from an ex EMT and firefighter...and they know blood. Good old Hydrogen Peroxide...however, it must be applied BEFORE it's washed. You just slowly pour on the Hydrogen Peroxide...let it work a while & keep adding more until it eats the stain away. I am telling you, it is amazing...I now keep one of those GIANT bottles of peroxide in my cupboard now just for blood issues...
