Getting blood out

Getting blood out of light colored fabric....
l haven't needed this for awhile I used it more when I was younger and before mentalpause oops I mean menopause lol.. Ice on a bloody spot on a shirt and blotting with paper towel or cloth  will remove most of the blood and the rest usually comes out in the laundry COLD WATER WASH! Heat sets blood. On more delicate items remove them and rinse wile rubbing under cold water in the sink. In a emergency the item can be washed with hand soap and dried with a hand dryer or paper towels. Put back on damp and body heat will dry them the rest of the way. When you get home or your destination change to something else and launder whenever you can.

For kids if you do not FREAK over blood they will follow you and calm down or just not be freaked over it and you can clean them up and see if its something to kiss it better or put a bandage on. If you are going to fall apart do it after you have tended to them. Then you can say you are crying cuz you're happy they all better. Or because you are happy it wasn't bad cuz you suck at sewing and they might wind up walking on their hands and then laugh and smile and tickle them and get big hugs.
