My go to is the purple stain remover spray from Aldis. I will keep this in mind. A spray bottle of vinegar is easy to keep in case

Removing blood and beer stains can be challenging, but there are some effective methods to try:

*Removing Blood Stains*

1. *Act quickly*: The sooner you treat the stain, the better.
2. *Blot, don't rub*: Gently blot the stain with a clean cloth or paper towel to remove excess blood.
3. *Cold water*: Run cold water over the back of the stain to flush out as much blood as possible.
4. *Hydrogen peroxide*: Apply hydrogen peroxide to the stain, let it sit for 10-15 minutes, then rinse with cold water.
5. *Enzyme-based cleaner*: Use an enzyme-based cleaner, like OxiClean or Shout, to break down the protein in the blood.
6. *Laundry detergent*: If the stain persists, apply laundry detergent directly to the stain and wash as usual.

*Removing Beer Stains*

1. *Blot, don't rub*: Gently blot the stain with a clean cloth or paper towel to remove excess beer.
2. *White vinegar*: Mix equal parts water and white vinegar, and apply the solution to the stain. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes, then rinse with cold water.
3. *Baking soda*: Make a paste with baking soda and water, and apply it to the stain. Let it sit for 30 minutes to an hour, then rinse with cold water.
4. *Dish soap*: Apply a small amount of dish soap directly to the stain and work it in gently. Rinse with cold water.
5. *Hydrogen peroxide*: If the stain persists, try applying hydrogen peroxide to the stain, let it sit for 10-15 minutes, then rinse with cold water.

*General Tips*

1. *Pre-treat*: Always pre-treat the stain before washing.
2. *Test a small area*: Before applying any cleaning solutions, test a small, inconspicuous area of the fabric to ensure the solution won't damage the material.
3. *Avoid heat*: Heat can set the stain, making it more difficult to remove. Avoid using hot water or putting the stained item in the dryer until the stain is removed.
4. *Repeat if necessary*: If the stain persists after the initial treatment, repeat the process until the stain is removed.

Remember, not all stains can be completely removed, especially if they have had time to set. However, by acting quickly and using the right techniques, you can increase the chances of removing the stain.
Beer and blood suggestions are missing!
