Being sick on your kilt...

[creativeaccents]

Worst was about 20 years ago, a knife wound that soaked it with blood. On the upside it was Royal Stewart so it was hard to tell.

Something learned as an emergency room chaplain...where there are blood stains use hydrogen peroxide while the blood is still wet...stains are gone instantly. The key is to keep things moist to prevent drying before using the peroxide.

Got one caught in a winch once. Kind of chewed it up a bit and then the chewed up bit got caught on a nice desert tree climbing out of the creek and tore it more. It's my four wheeling kilt now.

If you have no peroxide use plain cool water. Stir it occasionally and change it every quarter-hour or so. When fresh water acquires no color the red stain will be gone but a yellow tinge may remain; a gentle wash with a gentle soap will remove it.

The main thing is to act promptly; blood oxidizes as it dries and the dry stain is very hard to remove.
