8. Era Laundry Detergent is the best.

My son had constant bloody noses as a child, many happening in his sleep. The blood would be dried. Rub some Era on to pre-treat, then wash as usual. Works like a charm...and you can use it as your regular detergent, so no extra expense.

It's very good on grass stains, also.
