How to Remove Blood Stains from Carpet

Remove the blood stain not the carpet!

It sounds a little heartless to tell your husband to stop bleeding all over the carpet after he cut himself trying to pick up broken glass. Go ahead and help him clean and wrap the wound, and then rush to the bathroom cabinet and grab a can of foaming shaving cream. Do it as soon as possible - without appearing to be uncaring!

Things You'll Need

• Can foaming shaving cream
• Meat tenderizer
• Vacuum cleaner
• Hydrogen peroxide
• Paper towels

Instructions

1. Spray the foaming shaving cream directly on the fresh blood stain. Cover the stain.

2. Rinse the foaming shaving cream and blood stain immediately with cold water.

3. Make a paste of meat tenderizer and water, for stubborn or dry blood stains in the carpet.

4. Apply the tenderizer paste to the blood stain and let it dry.

5. Vacuum the blood stain after the paste dries.

6. Dab blood stains (that still remain after completing the previous steps) with paper towel dampened with hydrogen peroxide. Rinse immediately with cold water.

Tips & Warnings

• Test an out of the way area of the carpet with any of the substances you will be using, to make sure one doesn't damage the carpet.
