so i cut myself before the ride today and its like a deep papercut, having no 1st aid kit i use a J-cloth to try and stop the blood, i thaught it had finnished so put a McDonalds tissue around my finger and put the glove over the top, after about an hour and half i took the tissue off as i thaught it must have stopped by know, so i put the glove on and rode off, after about 10 mins the whole finger on the glove is full of blood,
rinsed it off at home but its still there, whats the best way to get it out?
You cut yourself eh?
Spit, preferably that of the bleeder, or should that be bleedee?
Works for small stains anyway.
Has it dried yet? if not dampen the affected area and use salt on the blood stain, rub it together to use as a grinding paste then rinse, repeat until gone.
Yeah, yeah. "Cut myself". They hear that all the time.
Seriously, it'll still have DNA traces on it even after you've washed it. You need to burn the gloves or they'll nail you for it eventually.
Rinsing in the River Aire seems quite effective.

Bleach works... apparently...
Soak in cold water with some salt in.
+1 for soaking in cold water, use an old-fashioned stain remover like Biotex if necessary. (Father of 3 messy kids here).
@BigJohn- gross!
+1 for salt (not Saltaire)
What drac said.
I always leave mine soaking in ice cold water for quite a while.
I do have a bit of experience in this. 
I put my blood-soaked shorts in a normal 40 degree wash with persil and they came out spotless 🙂
Have you tried licking, it's a last resort but effective. Honest.
+3 COLD WATER MAGIC
Hair shampoo worked for me on some expensive cream trousers once!
oh, and before you ask, I believe the accepted method is lots of sharp sand, dab of cement at the corners & centres and jump on 'em to settle
milk is good (for removing blood) I read somewhere ?
get some stain remover from the pound shop.
coke?
