My boyfriend's kid sister has a shirt from her first GWAR show and she just came home, took it off, hung it up on a hanger and let it dry without messing with it. It's still pretty obviously stained. Since the pigments are water-soluble, I'd probably keep any liquids away - did the vinegar make a dent in the stains? If it stinks, I'd just spritz it with some Febreze and leave it hanging outside on a nice, breezy day to get most of the stank out. Larry — I wouldn’t wash it at all if you wanted to keep the stain.

My shirt lost most of the pigment and left only a solid pink shirt. The blood was all off of me already which kinda sucked. My problem is finding a way to preserve the stain forever. I would like to wear my gwar shirt to another Gwar show someday. I soaked my shirt in distilled white vinegar before the show "yes, I reaked" and then after the show let it mostly air dry and then tossed it into a dryer for over an hour on the hottest setting. I don't think it worked well. I stilled havent washed it because I'm afraid the stain will come out in the wash. I can't believe people want to get the stains OUT of their clothes. Thats like getting a tattoo to remember an event, and then trying to bleach it out when you get home.
