Meat tenderizer works on blood. You can make a paste and put it on the blood stain. The enzymes break down the proteins. I usually use the hydrogen peroxide as a rinse and then follow with the meat tenderizer as a paste. After is sits for a while, I wash the item in cold water and it comes out perfect. I get bloody noses, a lot, so I know this works.

My son worked at KFC and his shirts were always covered with grease. Spraying them with GooGone before washing them was the only thing I found that got the grease out.

RUST stains: I have been most successful removing rust stains on WHITE clothing using TOILET BOWL cleaner listed as a rust remover. Test first; then Saturate the spot, give it a few minutes or longer to work, scrub with an old toothbrush used for cleaning (rinse it afterwards) and rinse and dry, or wash in the laundry with other whites. Works like a charm.

I accidently washed and dried a load of clothes that had a shimmmering peach chap sick type product in a pocket. All of my work scrubs and three of my husbands dress shirts are stained. Anybody know how to get this out? I tried to re-wash the load after treating individualy with oxy stain remover and it didn’t do a thing.

The absolute BEST chocolate stain remover EVER is club soda! My mother-in-law told me about it, and I couldn’t believe it…the stain just disappeared with no rubbing at all. It works best on fresh stains, but it will work with fels-naptha laundry bar soap on set in stains too. Guess some “soda jerk” discovered this fix!

I rubbed dawn dish liquid into a blood stain they used the sink sprayer to force the bubbles through after it soaked for 1/2 hour or so. Took the blood right out!

Tip I received from a seamstress: If you prick your finger while sewing, getting blood on the garment, spit on the blood stain to remove it. If it’s your blood, your own saliva will remove it.

I am greatful for all of the wonderful ideas you have! Not just the laundry ones, but recipes and kitchen helps too. The reason I am writing is I’d like to know how (and if it’s at all possible) to get grease splatters out of clothes. I cook a lot but grease always seems to splatter on my shirt and I haven’t found anything that works yet! Thank you for reading, Karen
