Re: [lace] blood on lace
I would definately have to go this way with the salt as I dont have any natural saliva, Sjogrens Syndrome has killed off my saliva glands, so I am very careful of covering fingers if I split the skin in anyway. I did get some on a lacy undergarment recently but didn't find out until I went to put it on 'clean' and dry a week or more later. Is there someway to get rid of it now? It is commercial lace, not handmade. Sue T Dorset UK A very old fashion remedy for this problem comes from my late great Victorian era aunt Ina, soak item whether it be of cotton or linen content in cold highly salted water. Has worked wonders for as long as I can remember.

RE: [lace] blood on lace
hydrogen peroxide will sometimes work, but if it has been through the washer and dryer it might not.At any rate it is not that expensive to give it a try.

Re: [lace] Blood on lace, how to remove.

Take a piece of the same thread you are using for the lace, make a small ball of it, about the size of a large pea. Put the ball in your mouth and soak it with saliva. Now use that ball of wet thread to dab the blood off the lace. This should be done as soon as possible and the saliva must be from the person whose blood it is on the lace. Something to do with a person's enzymes I think, but am not sure. All I know is that it works every time for me .I have never tried this method on Synthetic threads but it could work as well on those as it does on natural fibres. This does work I've done it on the odd occasion that I've pricked my finger when hand sewing on wedding dresses. good luck for the bride too (said tongue in cheek) but using your own saliva the blood just melts away :-) ... and I always put a small blue lace motif on the lining of any wedding dress I make.

Unless you brush after every meal and snack, you are likely to have food in your mouth that could present a problem. If you've just eaten chocolate, for example, you'll be replacing the blood stain with a chocolate stain. Robin P.
