Step by Step Guide To Get Blood Out of Carpet
This is the best way to get blood out of carpet. A hospice nurse taught us this blood cleaning hack!
Instructions
- Blot the Stain: If the blood is fresh, use a clean cloth or paper towel to blot up as much as possible. Avoid rubbing to prevent spreading the stain.
- Spot Test: Before applying hydrogen peroxide widely, test it on a small, hidden section of the rug or carpet to ensure it doesn’t lead to discoloration.
- Apply Hydrogen Peroxide: Gently dab hydrogen peroxide onto the stain with a cloth. For deeper pile carpets, you might use a soft-bristled brush to lightly work the solution into the fibers.
- Blot Again: Use a clean, damp cloth to blot the area, removing both the hydrogen peroxide and the loosened parts of the stain. Repeat if needed.
- Air Dry: Let the carpet or rug air dry. Avoid direct heat or sunlight during this process.
