Mother Tip# 569723 – How To Get Blood Out Of Clothes

First, I have to say, while this is an excellent suggestion, I have earned the "Worst Mother Of The Year" award in the process.  It's OK...I will add it the shelf with all the other ones.  How do I start this story?

My 15 year old son, Sawyer, loves to skateboard.  I dropped him off at the skate park yesterday.  He was wearing a pair of Hurley shorts that he claimed "MOM I just have to have"!  These shorts were $60

I was not impressed he was choosing to skate in these shorts and I informed him that he would ruin them.  An hour later, I get a call.  Sawyer is telling me that he is with his dad and I needed to come over there ASAP.  He had injured himself.  So, like any good mother, I rushed over to his dad's house in a panic. I go inside and I notice 2 things.  I knee that is swollen and BLOOD.  Blood on those $60 shorts.  Can you guess what my first concern was?  You got it....the shorts!

How do you get blood out of clothes?  I immediately took to my favorite website: Pinterest!  I found 2 suggestions.  The first one: your own spit.  Yup...YOUR spit can get YOUR blood out of clothes.  Must be the blood owners spit!  The second one: Hydrogen Peroxide.

So, after having Sawyer spit all over his shorts, I dumped hydrogen peroxide all over them and scrubbed.  In a matter of minutes, the blood was GONE!  I can breathe now.

Sawyer, on the other hand, ended up in a knee immobilizer.  But, the shorts are saved!
