You never know when you might get blood stains on something. To get blood stains out of clothing it's best to act quickly before the stain sets. Blot with a wet rag or paper towel using cold water, or if possible rinse with cold water. Don't rub the stain because you'll just spread it around or work it into the fabric making it worse. Don't use hot water, and don't put it into the dryer until the stain is completely gone because the heat will set the stain.For a stain that is already set in you should soak the item in warm water with detergent. Let it soak for about an hour or until the stain starts to lift. Blot and scrub if necessary - but be careful not to work it into the fabric. You can buy 'pretreatment' stain remover products as well. Put that on and then wash it as normal using cold or warm water, after soaking.
If you act fast cold water should be enough- get it early and it will be a lot easier.
Another option is using an amonia/water or hydrogen peroxide/water mix - make sure that this won't cause any discoloration to the item before you use it.
