Maybe back in 1979 when I was hitting Black Flag, Circle Jerks or Dead Kennedys gigs in L.A. this info would have been helpful, but thanks anyways.

NEVER HOT, as it will cook and set the stain. for set blood stains it's oxy clean again to the rescue. and again ALWAYS cold water with blood. sometimes a 24hr. soak is needed but always seems to work. good luck! northern irish descent+growing up in florida=skin cancer. and i collect vintage tees. so ask me how to remove blood! if still a fresh blood stain, cold running water will do the trick.
