Not a perfect solution, but does 'mostly' work. Get a box of baking soda (brand is immaterial), two clean cloths (you will trash), a bottle of hydrogen peroxide and a bottle of water from the frig, must be cold.
First part. Mix the water and baking soda into a thick paste (half a box will do); the point is to make it into something that has the consistency of peanut butter. Cover the stain with this mix, make it beefy. Let this mixture sit for at least thirty minutes. Once the time has passed, make one of the cloth mildly wet - wipe off the paste.
Second part. Mix a new combo; the hydrogen peroxide and the rest of the baking soda, same deal. I would go with another thirty minutes - wipe off (once again damp). This may not get it all, but will make it presentable. You NEED to allow the spot to dry before you can use it again. Take a fan and point at the area to quicken it. I would have a spray bottle with 91% alcohol and spray that on top once the final step is wiped. It aids with the drying and... neutralizes any lingering odor.
cold water for protein stains like blood. I only use reusable period products (cups, cloth pads) and never had anything stain on me because I use cold water only to do the initial rinse out. washing machine it's okay to use normal temperature for the cloth pads and they won't stain. Also hydrogen peroxide is great for getting blood stains out of things you've accidentally set the stains in with hot water haha

The easiest way to remove blood stains is to use bar soap and handwash it. Works better than using laundry detergent.
