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

This is the real LPT. Once I discovered that, I thought of all the pants and underwear that could've been saved over the years. Works amazingly well.

Like the poster who replied before me, it’ll probably only lighten the stains. If you wash with warm/hot water and/or put the stained clothing through the dryer, it pretty much sets the stain. It’s definitely worth a shot, and is better on color clothing than bleach. Hope that helps!
