Old Method
Fresh Blood:
Cold water or Club Soda. Sponge stain immediately with cold water or club soda and dry with a soft absorbant terry towel. Repeat as necessary.
Dried Blood:
One reader reported that in nursing school they tell students to use peroxide on the blood before washing. She reported it really works. I'd test a small section as it could also have a bleaching effect, but worth a try.
or
- Mix one teaspoon of a mild ph balanced detergent (a mild non alkaline non bleaching detergent) with a cup of ice cold water
- Blot
- Mix one tablespoon of household ammonia with a half cup of ice cold water
- Blot

I'm a professional carpet cleaner and please BE CAREFUL with using peroxide on carpet. Hydrogen peroxide is a form of bleach and can pull the color out. Also, many oxygen based cleaners on the market actually make hydrogen peroxide and can bleach carpet as well. This is especially true with natural fibers like wool. Always test any spotter in a inconspicuous area. When in doubt call a professional cleaner. www.seanscarpetcare.com
