    Use hydrogen peroxide on the stain first, rinse with cold water and repeat hydrogen peroxide. Then use a stain remover like spray and wash, let sit and then wash in cold water. Repeat if necessary but do NOT use a dryer until the stain is removed.

    Cold water ONLY. Rinse thoroughly before you try anything.

    Then: hydrogen peroxide should break up the stain. DO NOT use hot water or dry the sheets until you're satisfied you've removed enough of the stain to suit you.

    Just wash them. Make sure the blood is gone before running through the dryer. Blood comes out pretty easily.

    FYI: it's not a stain unless it doesn't come out.

    Cold water because blood is a protein based stain.....hot water cooks the protein making it harder to remove. Use a carpet shampoo machine on tools setting if you have one.

    Peroxide works and toothpaste tends to work too.

    Wet the area, and then pour peroxide on it. If necessary rinse and repeat.
