Then, if you have white or light-colored sheets you should be able to use hydrogen peroxide straight on the sheets to remove the blood. I usually pour about a teaspoon or two over the blood stain.
If you have darker sheets you will want to be careful because the hydrogen peroxide can bleach the sheets. You can dilute the hydrogen peroxide with water to help keep the bleaching to a minimum.
Just mix water and hydrogen peroxide about 50-50. So about a teaspoon of hydrogen peroxide to a teaspoon of water.
As soon as the hydrogen peroxide is poured on you should start to see it fizzing like in the picture above. This is just the blood dissolving in the hydrogen peroxide. It’s pretty fun to watch.
Let it fizz for a minute or two and then rub at the stain for a minute. I just usually rub the sheet or pillowcase together to really work the hydrogen peroxide into the blood stain.
Rinse it off with cold water and then repeat if necessary. Usually, once I add hydrogen peroxide twice it gets most of the stain out. You can see below how most of the stain is gone.
Once you have the stain removed then you can put it through the laundry like you normally would.
Once I removed the sheets from the washer I couldn’t even find where the stain was.
