Help me save my white capris!

If peroxide doesn't work you can try a meat tenderizer such as Accent. Put the meat tenderizer on the stain and make a paste with water. Meat tenderizers break down the enzymes in the blood, it's worked for me in the past. Good luck!

One day my hubby and his father went fishing. Unbeknownst to me, DH took my favorite white t-shirt to wear and came home with bloody stains from the fishing day grrrr! I used peroxide, several times and it came out!

DS had a nosebleed in bed a few weeks ago and didn't tell me. It didn't get on his sheets, but it got on the underside of his comforter. I found it several days after it had happened. Washing it with Shout didn't seem to touch it. My grandmother suggested a 50/50 water and bleach mix, dabbed on and then rinsed immediately. I did this and it worked great! Since your capris are white, I think it should work on them, too. Good luck!

It worked! Something worked, maybe a combination of all these? I tried them all...little by little it has lightened to almost invisible. I think I'm the only one who will see the remaining spot, down low by the hem line and only b/c I know it's there! The most successful was an accident, I had tried a white bright paste. i thogutht I had rinsed it all off, but there must have been a residue. When I poured peroxide on there it foamed and bubbled, turned yellow and smelled like sulfur. but the stains were basically gone! But don't try this at home folks, turns out as I read the White Brite bottle afterwards it says "DO NOT MIX WITH PEROXIDE". Apparently I created some heavy acid or something...but the stains are gone and there are no holes burned in my pants. Thanks again! I will think of you all this weekend when I'm wearing my capris at a leadership retreat.

LOL- this was just the chuckle I needed tonight! Glad you got the stain out and extra glad you didnt get overcome w/ toxic fumes!

Very good advice here - will have to print this thread out for future reference.

YAY! I'm glad you got them clean!! I was going to recommend Fels Naptha (sp? it's a bar soap in the laundry detergent aisle) -- wet the bar and coat the stain in it. Then boil the pants in a spaghetti pot. Boil for 1/2 hour, put in clean water and recoat the stain and boil again, do it a few times and then run through a regular wash. Should get it out... I've never NOT had a Fels boil work
