If you have already dried them in the dryer you may have "set" the stain or cooked it into the fabric.
Try hydrogen peroxide next. Pour it directly on the stain, let it sit for about 10 minutes, then wash in COLD water. Do not put them into the dryer! Let the jeans air dry.
If the stain is still there, take them to the dry cleaners and ask them for help. They can probably get it out for around $5!

No magical formula needed, all you need to do is pick up some M30 from your local Dollar General. (I hope you have never put those jeans into the drier since that happened because the heat from one will really set in a stain.) Just follow the directions on the tub and the stain should come out, especially if you let the M30 stay on the stain for a few hours.

I've heard of two things you might try...one is hydrogen peroxide. I've been told that works very well, but I also heard it from a nurse so I'm not sure if it would bleach out the jeans or not...but I also heard that simple green does get blood stains out too. I know simple green is mild. Good Luck

I actually soak cloths in cold water for awhile any time they get a stain. Learned that trick from my mom, it kinda loosens up stains before you start scrubbing. Also it doesn't allow them to set. I normally just soak awhile in cold water, always use cold, then I use this cheap little white hand soap that is somtimes called "deodorant soap." Or the typical little white soap bars that you'd get from a hotel room, those little white soap bars help take out about 90% of my stains including blood stains.

If they have been washed and dried, the stains may not come out. The dryer heat sets stains usually. Wisk and Dawn are both good at getting blood stains out...OxyClean or anything with the oxygen action is pretty good, too.

Before I give up I would try bleach! Fill washer up add 1/2 cup of bleach throw some white towels in and then throw the jeans in if they are light colored jeans this should work! If dark color jeans I dont believe you would see the blood. Good Luck!

hydrogen peroxide works well to remove fresh blood stains. It may help with a set stain as well.

The best thing to use is hydrogen peroxide, it will take all of the blood stains out.

Hydrogen Peroxide will take it out,,,,even after washing it and drying it,,,just pour some on there and it will bubble up. It may take a couple of washings to get it out. I would wash it pretty quick after doing the peroxide, as it will eat a hole in the clothing. This has always worked for me.

Hydrogen Peroxide is your best bet! My son was in a fight and came home with quite a bit of blood on his pants and shirt- both were light blue in color though, and I rinsed them under cold water first and then I poured HP directly onto all the spots and let them sit overnight, rinsed them in cold water and hand scrubbed them with Era laundry soap- then repeated the whole process and there wasn't one speck of blood left!!
