Removing blood stains is difficult, especially once they dry.  They are among the most stubborn stains to remove.  I’ve tried at least a dozen cleaners that claim to remove blood stains, but they left me disappointed. Most of them are harsh and caustic and many of them ruin the fabric, but still leave the stain!  I was wondering how on earth to remove those stubborn blood stains when nothing seems to work.

Well, I happy to report I’ve finally found two excellent, inexpensive and non-toxic ways to get blood stains out of clothing, towels and sheets that work nearly every time.

Blood Stain Removal Method One – For Fresh Stains:

If the stain is fresh or recent, Hydrogen Peroxyde will do the trick.  Simply dab a generous amount on the stain and keep dabbing until the stain is removed.  If it’s a big stain, put enough on so that it bubbles up.  Wait until it settles to apply more. Use a fresh piece of cloth or paper towel to blot the loosened blood off.  Sometimes the peroxyde needs to soak for a few minutes before all the stain can be removed.

This method will work on clothes, mattresses, carpet, upholstery.  But if it’s an old blood stain, hydrogen peroxide doesn’t do the job very well.  But the next product will…

Blood Stain Removal Method Two – For Dried Stains:

If the stain has dried, I’ve found a cleaner that works like a charm even on blood stains that have already been washed but stubbornly remain.  It’s inexpensive too.  It’s called "Goop Hand Cleaner" and you can get it at Walmart in the Automotive section.  Even thought it’s called a hand cleaner, it works great on washable fabrics of all kinds.

To use it, all you have to do is rub it over the stain (on dry fabric) and let it sit for 20 minutes or so.  Then throw the item in the washer and run it through a wash cycle.  Let it sit longer than 20 minutes if it’s a tough stain.  When the wash is finished, your blood stain will be gone as if by magic!

The best thing is its non-toxic and biodegradable.  And it works on all kinds of other stains too.  And of course, it’s fantastic for cleaning your greasy hands after working on the engine.  The label says it removes grease, paint, ink, tar and industrial dirt from hands and washable clothing.  I haven’t tried it on tar yet, but it works well on ink.

Word of warning:  Goop can lighten the area it is applied to, so first test it out on a small inconspicuous area first if you’re worried about colorfastness.

How can you save gas, improve your car’s fuel efficiency and get more mileage for your buck?  With fuel prices soaring and a recession starting there’s no end in sight to soaring gas prices.

Well, here’s an unconventional way that sounds crazy: add some water to the mix. 

Now, before you guffaw, "Are you telling me I’ll save gas if I run my car on water?  C’mon!" and brush this off as ridiculous, hear me out.  I’m not saying to fill your tank up with water.  No way!   I said "add some water to the mix."  It’s a minor modification that has to be done right.

Can Your Car Run on Water?

I admit the thought boggles the mind – until you realize that water, broken down to hydrogen and oxygen, originally powered engines way before fossil fuels did (remember the steam engine).

Well, a little water in the form of hydrogen and oxygen could quite possibly increase your car’s fuel efficiency and provide you with free energy.  And it could help your engine run a lot cleaner.  Think of what that could save you in gas expenses every year.  When you add water in the form of hydrogen and oxygen to your car’s fuel, it burns more efficiently and becomes almost a green fuel.

Right now, everyone can use a more efficient vehicle.  We’re living in tough times that call for innovative solutions.  Often, the solutions require changing traditional ways of thinking.  If you’re ready to consider new solutions to saving on gas costs, you owe it to yourself to look into this a little further.

Here’s what this clean, green fuel can do for your car:

• Save on gas costs
• Increase fuel efficiency
• Extend the life of your automobile 
• Reduce engine temperature
• Reduce harmful environmental emissions and help prevent global warming
