Unfortunately accidents happen, and some of them end with a little blood spilled.
Once you make sure you or your loved one is OK, and get everyone patched up it is time to tackle those blood stains.
Unfortunately, blood, especially dried blood, can be a difficult stain to remove.
That's exactly what one reader, Amy, recently had to do when she submitted the photo above (also see another one below) of the sheets on her son's bed, after he had one of his frequent nose bleeds.
She said, "My son gets bloody noses at night. A lot. I got all this out with cold water and peroxide then oxygen powder with Tide in a cold wash.
I'd love to hear from even more people sharing their own tips and recommended stain removers for blood spots and drips, just like Amy.
