I'm not sure about "old" blood stains, but try it and see. It may still be workable, just gently apply the Hydrogen Peroxide with a cloth and gently rub the stain to see if the Peroxide will remove it, but remember to gently wash the area with tap water after treating the stain. The blood stains that I have removed were all only a few minutes old. However, I do remember my wife removing a blood stain from a pillow case that was probably a week old and it did come out. So maybe it will work on older blood stains.
