it will all come out in the wash..
on the subject of stain removal there are so many differing opinions but every one i have come across agrees that it is better the get to the stain when it is fresh. if you give the stain a chance to set then you are going to have to take much more drastic measures in order to remove all evidence.
even worse than letting the stain set is a failed attempt, often the water from the washing combined with the heat of the drying can marry the stain the fabric until death they do part.
human stains such as blood are best removed fresh with some saliva that comes from the person who bled in the first place, the enzymes in the spittle do a magical dance with the proteins in the blood and it will come away lickety split.
if all else fails you could always make the move to darker hues. start with dyes for the stained garments and a more general darkness in anticipation of future blemishes.
