Stain Removal Tip

I was introduced to the cleaning properties of hydrogen peroxide back when I was at UMHB. One of my housemates showed me how it gets blood stains out of clothing. This was great to know for the time when Sneezy got a bad cut and Eric's pants had blood spatters all over them.

Last week, I got took a pair of the girls tan pants that had a couple of unknown stains and got them out. These are the same pants that I had tried cleaning 3-4 times with Oxi-Clean and had no success. I just put them in my sink, poured some hydrogen peroxide over the spots, and left them for 3 hours. The stains are almost completely gone!! Yea!!

I read that it works on carpet too...Someone put a spray nozzle on an inexpensive bottle from the store and sprayed the peroxide on the stain. They left it on for about ten minutes, took warm water with a dish liquid containing lemon and blotted it up. It took the stain out of the carpet. I will have to try it sometime.

I can tell you from personal experience though that it works so great on blood stains, even when they are set in. It just may take more time and effort if they are set. I read that it might damage delicate fabrics, but I haven't had any problems yet.
