There is a lot of anxiety associated with blood stains on clothes and carpets, however the much dreaded occurrence of this accident is not as bad as it appears. With blood stain removal, you need to treat the stain as promptly as possible.

There are many ways to remove blood stains. Rest assured you can be certain that after you perform the following tips, the spot will be removed to the fullest extent. Here are some methods to get the blood stains from carpets.

  • When treating blood spots on carpets or upholstery  always use cold water instead of warm or hot water. This is important because blood coagulates with heat, and cold will prevent the blood from permeating into the carpet fibers.
  • Fill a spritzer bottle with 2 tsp. of a grease-fighting, liquid dish detergent such as Dawn and cold water, then spray on the stain. Liberally moisten it so that the carpet stain is entirely soaked. Then use a paper towel or a dry white cloth to blot the spot so that the blood is transferred to the cloth. Rinse with cold water and repeat if necessary.

Blot until dry, rinse, and repeat if necessary. However Oxiclean however can have a bleaching afffect so use with caution.
