MacGuyver These Stains part 2

We've wrestled with it from time to time. Keeping calm and collected during a stakeout or high stakes poker game is easy, dealing with murderous bodyguards and hired guns, not quite. Things can get bloody and no international man of mystery wants to walk around with blood stained Paul Smith shirts or invite gorgeous femme fatales to shag pad home to pools of crimson. He'd better have encyclopedic knowledge of blood removal as well as his firearms.

Blood on clothes
Like wine, blood has a limited time window before the stain eats into the fibres. Run cold water immediately through the stain ala Craig in Casino Royale. If like most males, you let the blood coalesce and dry, you could either buy a new damn shirt or pretreat with prewash stain remover (dynamo), laundry detergent (Kao) and water. For blood on whites, bleach is always an option, just not the best one as over time, it causes yellowing of the fabric.
