Hey Gang,
I have some military wool pants that I usually wear every season and got some blood on them...deer, not mine. I don't particularly care to dry clean my wool products. What do you all do to get blood out of wool?

Peroxide works best for blood.

Leave it. It adds character...

I got deer blood on my best hunting sweater one year. I threw in the dirty clothes bin to wash later, and my dog ate a hole in it. I found a skilled older lady who re-knitted and you could not tell it had been repaired.

I may be wrong but I think it could break down fibers in wool so I would wash it, probably in Woolite.

Good one Jon! After it dries, brush it off.

Peroxide will do it, BUT watch out. It could change color of your pants, so test before using. Apply, let it sit a while, re-apply and blot with clean rag.

Ok all...seems that peroxide is the proven method.
Sorry Jon, I haven't scored yet myself this year so I can't be of any help! Thanks for all the tesponses.

I always do as Graps said, cold water is all I've used. I would be afraid to use peroxide on my good wool as it could very well bleach it.

Good point...cold water first...if that doesn't work I'll try a bit of peroxide.

Go out and hunt all day in the rain.

Spousal Unit recommends trying lemon juice (wet first and rinse with cold water) if peroxide is too fearsome. Also meat tenderizer. Me, I just say, "What stain?"

Hand wash in cold water hang it to dry . If you are worried about sent spray it down with sent killer . That's all I do being wool doesn't hold scents much anyway.

I also never dry any of my hunting clothes in the dryer.
Dryers uses a large amount of air being drawn from inside your house (odors) back into your so called sent free hunting clothes .

I'm with Graps, cold water. I don't use a dryer, either. Before doing anything, I would try a stiff brush to get out as much as possible. I wonder if peroxide will damage either the fabric or the dye.
