Never. He does say the word "blood" fifteen times, and "bloody" another five. But not "blood on my hands". He does say "There's blood on thy face" to the murderer who kills Banquo. The closest he comes to talking about blood on his hands is "Will all great Neptune's ocean wash the blood clean from my hand."

What are some patterns of imagery in Macbeth act 4?
"I am in blood stepp'd in so far, that, should I wade no more, returning were as tedious as go o'er". (III, 4) The image of Macbeth wading through an ocean of blood reinforces the many examples of blood imagery throughout the play, including several earlier in the same scene. It is reminiscent of the line "Will all great Neptune's ocean wash this blood clean from my hand? No, this my hand will rather the multitudinous seas incarnadine, making the green one red." which also reminds us of Lady Macbeth's line "all the perfumes of Arabia will not sweeten this little hand." All of these images of the Macbeths awash in a sea of blood that cannot be cleaned off enhance the central idea of Macbeth, which is that doing one evil deed changes the doer forever, and the guilt clings to him or to her. (As in Marlowe's Doctor Faustus, there is no redemption.)
