It might, but if it's old and still dirty, taken from attic, I would be too grossed out to keep them.

for things that are really stained I fill a bucket with hot water, a scoop of detergent, Shout and oxyclean/oxygen (the Israeli equivalent) and use a stick to mix it around. I leave them over night at least, mixing from time to time when I think about it. I dump out the water and wash on as hot as setting as the items can tolerate. Usually the stains come out. It usually works for blood, ring around the collars and grimy cuffs.

These panties are so comfy, and so hard to find. And it's not like I'm well-off financially. I have only torn panties cuz when push comes to shove, there are more important bills to pay than panty bills :-(
These bloody ones are the only non-torn panties I have, which is why I'd like to salvage them somehow.

Pls do yourself a favor and treat yourself to some new ones. It's actually very important, self care comes first.

Hashem should help you should never have such problems again and have money in abundance.

Spray it with Windex. Even if old. Works like a charm.b (Only works on blood)

Regular blue Windex.
I see it's year old. Never tried that old but worth a shot.
Make stain wet. Spray with Windex. Let sit 10 minutes. Scrub out blood with cleaning toothbrush. Once blood is out wash as usual.
If it's fresh you dont even have to do that just spray and wash.

not funny. The bag was meant to go to the washing machine, and instead it wound up in storage. During Pesach cleaning we found it.

As for a gofundme page, I'll accept your generous offer :-)
