Have you tried the cold wash and hydrogen peroxide treatment?

Spraying Shout works, too.

Or just replace the bedsheets. If you've had them long enough to not notice the blood stain, you should probably invest in a second set of bedsheets anyway.

You should probably change your sheets at least every other week, your pillow cases every week. It keeps dust mites and allergens down, and there are a lot of oils and dirt in your hair that can cause acne problems.

I have two twin adjustable beds put together for a king. I always hated waiting for a large load of laundry then having to spend so much time folding and sorting the massive load.

Now I wash one full set of sheets and blankets from one of the beds each week with whatever clothes me and my son have accumulated all week. Blanket and sheets get washed every 2 weeks snd my laundry folding is quick.

There's this place called Wal-Mart. You should check it out. Go in there and when the old lady says "Welcome to Wal-Mart" you say,

"Where the hell is the hydrogen peroxide, lady."

It's a common household product. Most people keep it for cleaning scrapes and removing bood stains. Ask your mom, she likely has some.

Hey, honestly, you won't use all of the hydrogen peroxide in one go. You need to get a towel and put it on the opposite side of the fabric, get the bottle of hydrogen peroxide and pour some onto the stain, and dab with another towel.

You can alternatively use some oxyclean dissolved in water in place of the hydrogen peroxide.

Just ask your folks to get some, if they're reasonable people they'll understand. It's like one dollar.

Unless you're trying to conceal that you're cleaning blood off your sheets. In that case I would say to borrow a bottle from a trusted friend or something.

Anyway, idk your life but good luck !

To add to this, the stain can bleed (woops there's a pun) into the towel you use so use something appropriately colored or that you don't care if it gets stained.
