This might help some who don't know this trick. I learned it after my younger brother's accident. Hydrogen peroxide will dissolve blood on clothing, bedding.. etc. Really does work.

    Hi Kritter

    I had used it as a spray to help remove thick mucus, but you need to be careful and dilute it down some before using it. Works great on stains when washing and is a lot cheaper than the stuff you buy at the store.

    PS: Use it only on white or it will be white when you finish
