DIY Monday: Stain Removal

I usually reserve this space for home improvement or craft projects, but thought a stain fighting tip wouldn't be rejected.

Many years ago a nurse moved into the house next door to my parents, and she taught me a stain fighting tip that I've had to use from time to time. It works pretty successfully, so I thought I'd share. If you should ever have to get blood out of fabric - I'm assuming Moms probably deal with this quite a lot - hydrogen peroxide will often get the blood out without bleaching the fabric. I pour a little of the peroxide on the stain and wait until it stops bubbling. I then rub the spot with a q-tip in order to get the peroxide to penetrate into the stain. I repeat this until the stain is gone and then rinse under water.

Try it and let me know how it works for you!
