How do you remove blood from a bed sheet?

    First you have to remove the fresh blood quickly. Treat heavy stains with hydrogen peroxide.Pour hydrogen peroxide directly onto the blood stain. Wait 20 to 25 minutes, then lightly pat the residue with a paper towel. If you don't have any hydrogen peroxide at home, you can use club soda instead. White vinegar will also work in a pinch. Light can turn hydrogen peroxide into water. If it is very bright in your room, cover the treated area with plastic wrap, then drape a dark towel over it. The towel will hide the area from light, and the plastic wrap will prevent the towel from soaking up the hydrogen peroxide.

    Try baking soda. Mix one part baking soda with two parts water to form a paste. Dampen the stain with water, then rub the paste onto the stain. Let the fabric dry, ideally in the sun. Brush off any residue, and then wash in cold water.Talcum powder or cornstarch/cornflour will also work.

    Launder your bed sheets in cold water after any stain-removal treatment. Use cold water, a mild detergent, and your usual wash cycle. Remove the wet sheets as soon as the cycle ends. Do not place them in the dryer. Instead, let them air dry either by hanging or in the sun.

    Just use cold water. Hot water will make it set. After you get most of itr try the peroxide treatment or other ideas. But use only cold water.
