Eww (tmi)- How to remove blood in shoe?

[cransplash]

I am wearing some new flats, and the back of my heel rubbed me raw and I didn’t realize I’m bleeding (so gross, I know). I have a band aid on it now, but the inside of the (nude) flats are kind of bloodied. Does anyone know how I can clean the blood out so it doesn’t look so gross when you look inside my shoe?

UGH- I am so peeved

What is the material? I know peroxide is good for getting out blood stains, but I'd be afraid of ruining the shoe. I'd try mav's idea first.

Cold water and salt gets blood out of most fabrics.

Thanks ladies- I'll try the water/soap and the cold water/salt methods and let you know. The exterior is patent leather, but the interior is regular (light) leather so it's pretty obvious. ICK.

I freaking love you for quoting Romy & Michele. I was able to use that line in college once when I injured my foot and my shoe was in fact filling up with blood.

OP, I'd see what plain water can do. Depending on material maybe some hydrogen peroxide would help.

Saline works wells

saline. easy to find in the eye care area at the pharmacy. hydrogen peroxide works if the saline doesn't.

both are used by nurses.
