How to remove blood stains from your carpet
Just imagine that you just bought yourself a new carpet and by accident a blood stain occurs on the carpet. You don't want your new carpet be ruined by a stain so you are trying to remove it. But what is the best way to remove carpet stains from your carpet? How to avoid that the blood stain will not disappear completely?
When you notice a blood stain on your carpet there are basically two things you should do. First, you should act quickly and second, never use hot water when you try to remove the stains. If you mix blood with hot water the blood will coagulate and than the stain will get much worse. In order to prevent the blood from coagulating you need to use cold water instead. You should use some paper towels or a cloth and blot the stain with the towels. Never rub the stain because than you will only make it worse. After you blotted it for the first time you can try to remove some of the blood stain with your vacuum cleaner.
There is an average chance that this first method will not extract the stain completely and you have to take other measures. First you should try some new clean paper towels with cold water and blot again. Repeat this process until nothing comes off anymore. If the stain is almost gone you can put a new wet clean towel on the stain and put something heavy on top of it. Leave it for a few hours and see if the stain is completely gone now.
There is always a chance that the blood stain removal did not work the first time. If that is the case than you should use something more aggressive. Make some club soda instead of cold water and see if you can remove the entire stain. If you have a new carpet than these methods will likely remove the stain entirely. If you have an older carpet than there is a small chance you can not remove it. This all depends on the amount of blood on the carpet and how long it has been there. If you don't believe you can remove the stain yourself than you can always ask a professional to do the job instead.
