Try soaking it in one of the enzymatic solutions, like Simple Solution or Nature's Miracle. It gets out urine. It should work on blood.

When I have such an issue with whites, I spray SHOUT on them, leave
them overnight, then squirt the spot with Clorox Clean-Up and immediately
toss it into the hot wash with bleach.

Presto!

Peroxide works, but you have to apply it full strength, and then blot with a cloth until the stain is gone.

If it's just a little,...your own saliva will work. Yep, kinda icky, but quilters know that if they drop a bit of blood on a quilt from a needle stick, to chew on a piece of thread till it's wet, then put it on the blood spot. It will draw the blood right out.

Soaking a bigger spot in milk will work too...has enzymes that break down the blood. But this only works if it's fairly fresh, and hasn't been through a laundry cycle.

If it's been through a laundry cycle, the methods that have been suggested and that you are using are probably best.

My dd hooked me up with a product called Zout. It works wonders on blood as well as many other stains. Grass stain has always been a toughy and Zout gets it out.
