Here are some ways to remove blood stains from carpet:
-
Detergent Solution: Mix one tablespoon of scent-free liquid hand dishwashing detergent with two cups of cold water. Using a clean white cloth, sponge the stain with the detergent solution. Blot until the liquid is absorbed. Repeat until the stain disappears.
-
Vinegar: Mix a solution of equal parts white vinegar and cold water. Sponge the stain with the vinegar solution. Blot until the liquid is absorbed. Repeat until the stain disappears.
-
Hydrogen Peroxide: Add a small portion of hydrogen peroxide to the blood stain on the carpet. Blot the stain with a clean white cloth until the stain disappears. Note that hydrogen peroxide can also be used in cases where the blood stain on the carpet is particularly persistent.
-
Salt Paste: Pour some cold water in a bowl, and then add in enough salt to create a thin paste. Apply the paste on the stained spot and then let it sit for at least 5 minutes. Blot the stain until its completely gone.
-
Ammonia Solution: Mix two tablespoons of ammonia with a glass of water. Use a spray bottle to apply the solution on your stained carpet, and then allow it to sit for 5 minutes. Blot the spot with a clean piece of cloth.
It's important to note that the sooner you act, the better result you're likely to get. When removing blood stains from carpets, it's best to use professional cleaning agents. Never use chlorinated agents or bleaching agents to get blood out of carpets, as these might discolor your carpet.
