Title: Removing blood from wool?
Post by: wihill on November 30, 2008, 02:09:00 PM
I'm a dummy.  Went and forgot to tuck my pants into my boots when I cut up a doe, now my pants are spattered red.

Mud/dirt I've figured out.  Burrdocks and "darnit" plant seeds I've gotten a handle on - this is a new one.  I should have bought woolen's years ago, I refuse to take them off during hunting...

 :help:  

Thanks!

I wouldn't worry about it. My wool pants are so wore out, the blood might be acting as glue holding the fibers togeher!

When I get my wool pants bloody I try to rinse them in cold water before the blood has a chance to set. Then as soon as I can I will wash them in cold water.

A cold water hand rinsing takes it right out.

If you machine wash your wool, "Sport Wash" will get it all out as well.

Adolph's meat tenderizer. Make a paste,rub it and let it set a few hrs and then wash.

Peroxide. Also sport wash is excellent.

No great story, just a portly WI boomstick doe.  I did package up some inner/outter tenderloins for ya bud - a tradgang brother and family can't survive on tags alone...    ;)

I just leave it on there.  When I do manage to spill a little that is...

Why bother? Wear it as a badge of success and honor. Just a few more dark spots in the camo pattern. Thousands of guys out there who would give anything to have blood on their hunting gear! d

I agree with Dave. I came in the other day with blood on my overalls and my wife was saying how we needed to get them washed before the blood set in. What? I said Thats a badge of honor.
