I have found that pouring straight Hydrogen Peroxide on the blood stain will almost immediately remove it. If for some reason, a shadow remains, Dawn has a new product called Dawn Power Scrubber. Spray liberally, let sit one hour, wash as usual, hang to dry. Check for spot, should be gone.

I was once at a cabin in the hinterlands and my daughter spilled blackberry jam all over her new yellow top. I took it and tried to simulate Oxy clean... First I tried beer (having no soda with bubbles) and that did not work. Then I rubbed the stain with the bar of soap and added more beer... Magic!! blackberry stain gone. Bubbles seem to work no matter the source of them... but a little soap may help. Thanks for the tip.
