Um, no. There are women out there who have atrocious hygiene standards and don't know to do this, as I unfortunately know from experience. Certainly most women are that conscientious; that doesn't mean they all are.
As a gay man, I've never in my life had to deal with menses soiled sheets. But I would think that any woman who has been menstruating for a decade would have a clue. Duh.
You mean the rude friends, right? 'Cause that's what I was thinking too.
But that wasn't what pissed her off the most, baby sitting was.
The foaming action greatly pleases me.
I once offered to replace a set of my boyfriend's sheets that got blood-stained, but he insisted it wasn't an issue. He washed them and went on using them, with the big ol' brown stain right in the middle, plain as day. I have a sneaking suspicion that he was into it, but I do hope he got rid of them after we broke up, if only for the sake of future ladies.
Also, that Oxy-Clean type stuff works wonders in the laundry too. Clorox makes a type that has the oxygenators with enzymes, and it works great.
Nothing totally removes the blood stains, so it's best to actually have some red towels for guests. Or cheap beach towels.
@6, 10, 13, 15: I have to say, I was thinking "use a dilute solution of a strong oxidizing agent!" also. But then again, I was thinking KMnO4. Maybe it has something to do with having just spent two hours looking up organic syntheses...
As someone who has helped countless friends move over the years, what I wanna know is: WTF is with putting sheets directly on the mattress?! Buy, and use, high-quality mattress pads, people, with quilted cotton and moisture barriers, combined with zip-on vapor-permeable/liquid-impermeable mattress protectors (and wash them once in awhile)--also keeps dust mites, dead skin flakes, and bedbugs out of your mattress! Jesus! Why have giant Rorschach blobs of greasy brown, rust, and yellow all over your mattress? My mattresses look like they did the day I bought them.
Agree with all the rest.
Glad to hear you finally conquered the bedwetting... me too! [high-five]
I have, for two reasons. 1, I'm not so fucking prissy as to give a shit if my panties have a stain on them, and 2, I manage to be aware enough of my own body not to fucking menstruate everywhere. Seriously, to other women have lots of experience of getting blood all over their shit? If you're fucking, get on top and get blood all over him, he's easier to clean. Otherwise, just like pay attention to what your cunt is doing so you can take enough precautions to not be bleeding on things that can stain. Jesus, idiots.
While we're on the subject, I just caught a few minutes of a standup routine where the (male) comedian claims that all men shit their pants from time to time. I'm hoping that he, like Christina, is projecting like crazy.
Seriously, these people were bitches, though.
Question for the sloggers, I'm gonna be couch surfing with my boyfriend soon. As long as we do it on a towel, clean up any messes should they some how escape said towel, and try to be generally quiet about it, think it's a go? Or dare I risk a blotch on my otherwise stainless couch surfing record, should they take offense? What say ye?
Also @ 13, that was priceless.
Use two towels.
Also, I didn't know about the cold water vs. hot water on bloodstains until after I worked in a nursing home (about age 20). Prior to that, I'd just assumed that bloodstains didn't come out at all, fact of life, and that washing things in warm or hot water was always more effective than using cold water. You don't know these things unless someone tells you. I either threw out stained panties/sheets or just dealt with the fact that some of my stuff had stains. Now I know. As the hostess, the letter writer might consider gently talking to the friend, privately, about the stained sheets and let her know that in the future, she should just do the cold water rinse and then let the hostess know about the issue. I wouldn't end a friendship over stained sheets, but I would end it over a lack of manners and consideration.
