Since blood is a proteine too…this might help you:
If still fresh, sponge with cool salted water (1 spoon per cup water) and rinse with clear water
For set blood stains, one of the best recommendations is the use of a commercial meat tenderizer (these are found in the spice section of your supermarket). Meat tenderizer breaks down the proteins in the fibrin strings that form when blood clots, allowing the stain to be released. Other suggestions we have received:
Try an enzyme presoak
Soak in a diaper wash/sanitizer that contains sodium percarbonate (follow label instructions)
Try dilute hydrogen peroxide (1 part : 9 parts water). Rinse well. Be Careful, strong solutions of hydrogen peroxide can bleach fabrics.
Sponge with a lukewarm 10% solution of Oxalic Acid for a few minutes, then rinse well. You can get this from the hardware store paint department or a pharmacy.
Sponge with dilute ammonia (1 spoon per cup). Rinse well.
For thick or unwashable articles, e.g. mattresses, carpets, etc., sponge lightly with one of the above solutions. If the stains are still fresh, and the police have left, sprinkle with meat tenderizer or pepsin powder (from your pharmacy), or spread with a thick paste of raw laundry starch and water, leave to dry, then brush off. Wipe with damp cloth an repeat if necessary.
The best thing for removing a fat or oil stain — or the oily component of a more complex stain such as salad dressing or gravy (once it’s dry) — is to rub cornstarch (or cornstarch powder, or even talcum powder) into the stain , let it sit for at least 20 minutes, and then brush it off with a dry washcloth or soft dry brush. You may need to repeat the treatment several times to fully remove the fat. It works especially well on silk and wool. So well, in fact, that further washing (or dry cleaning) is not needed.
