How to Remove Blood Stains From Carpet

Accidents involving a bit of blood can happen from time to time, especially if you have small children at home. You never know when someone will hit into a corner of the table or some such thing and get a cut that bleeds. When blood drips onto the carpet, it can cause an ugly stain and can potentially cause health problems. Here is a simple method that tells you how to remove blood stains from carpet.

1. Using a clean cloth that is dry, soak up as much of the stain as quickly as possible to help keep the blood from soaking into the carpet. Use a vertical blotting motion instead of scrubbing and blot the blood stains on carpet from the outside to the inside to help keep the stain from spreading.

2. Pour some clean cold water into a bowl. Do not use warm water, as that can help set the stain faster.

3. Blot cold water with a clean dry cloth, towel or sponge directly onto the stain to aid in removing blood from carpet.

4. Use a dry cloth, preferably white, to blot up the moisture and stain. As the cloth becomes wet, use a fresh cloth or a dry patch of the cloth in order to prevent spreading the stain as you blot. Always be careful to use a vertical motion so that you do not scrub the carpet.

5. If the blood stain is still on the carpet, get out your hydrogen peroxide bottle and pour a little into a bowl for ease of use. Using a gentle vertical motion, blot the peroxide onto the stain. The peroxide will cause a reaction with the blood and will begin to foam. Continue blotting until the foam has been removed.

6. If the blood stains are still visible, repeat steps 3 through 5 until the stain has disappeared.

7. Once the stain has completely been removed, use clean cold water to blot and rinse the area. Use a clean towel and be careful not to scrub the carpet.

8. When the rinsing is complete, use a dry clean towel or cloth to soak up the remaining moisture. You may want to place a dry cloth on the area and place something heavy on top of it for a couple of hours to help remove the moisture completely.

Throughout the process of removing blood from carpet, remember not to scrub the carpet as this can damage the individual fibers of the carpet and leave it looking worn. Blotting should be done in an up and down or vertical motion.

This method tells you how to remove blood stains from carpet when they have just occurred or are fresh. When blood stains on carpet have been there for a few days or more, it may take a professional to remove them. However, there are also some stain removal products on the market that do a good job at removing blood from carpet.
