I told you it was gross!!!

Mother's spit is as strong as 409.

You must have had one of those mothers who used her spit to get the dirt off your face. I did! LOL

There's a GRIN!! :lol:
My mother used to say that it had to be our own spit, so when she wanted to clean something off our faces, we had to stick out our tongue and she would wipe it with a hanky, then scrub it clean. Same hanky, different tongues! EEEEEWWWW!!!!

Blood stain removal 25 Mar 2008 23:33 #16158

I've worked in a Hospital Lab all my life. The #1 best way to remove a blood stain is with saline. (aka dilute salt water) Plain water hemolizes the red blood cells and releases the hemoglogin which leaves that dark stain. You can buy small bottles of saline nose rinse and keep it nearby. Otherwise, add a bit of salt to regular water.

Hydrogen peroxide works great too,it also works great for removing other stains too,I tried it today because I ran out of oxi clean,yes it does work great,the tiny little oxigen bubbles lift out the stains like the oxi clean does. Hair spray I don't know,I haven't tried it.

Spit works--I've used this method many times while hand quilting. I learned it from my "old timer" quilting friends in the 1980's. And I DO wash all of my quilts after quilting! :lol:

For some reason...I cannot stand the smell of the Tide marker....

I tend to spit....the enzymes in the spit digest the protein in the blood.

Hydrogen peroxide also works to get blood out of fabric. I work with nurses and this is what they do when an accident occurs. I don't know about old stains , but I would definetly test it before using it on a quilt top! WandaM
Happy Quilting,

If you're going to use your own saliva, it should be done asap after it happens.

LOL,spit !!!
Yeah, I'll stick with the "tide to go" marker! I just discovered this would be a "great item" to add to my sewing room. The spray & wash is agreat item also,they sell these in mini bottles too.

I've never tried spit. "Tide to go" sounds more appetizing. Do you have to catch it right away with the saliva? I was quilting this afternoon and found a spot I hadn"t noticed at the time of the mishap. It's small and I figured I'd use a bit of "spray and wash" when the quilt was done and ready for the wash. I'd be willing to try the saliva method but don't want to be spitting on the quilt if it doesn't work on old stains. Gloria

You're right it sounds gross! But it really works? How could I have gone this long and never heard that? Thanks so much!

Now, if we could just avoid the pricking in the first place or the slicing of the fingertip when changing a rotary blade.
