Yes unfortunately, I had to a few times. I found out the hard way that it's best to soak it up with towels first, and then mop with water and cleaning solution. If you go in wet first, it just spreads everywhere. The first time is kind of traumatic, and you want to gag. After that it's just like mopping up anything else though.

Dr. Neema has given you the correct protocol, but here's some other stuff. Blood has a tendency to thicken and get brather sticky as it dries so you may wish to portray the actual difficulty one would have getting the "stubborn" spots up. Also, you may want to use a sardonic angle, The only thing funnier than a fat lady slipping on a banana peel is an underpaid teenage grocery worker slipping on the pool of blood he has been charged to mop.
Or go Hitchcock on it. Point out the mundane task it really is by, for example have the person mopping put his/her cigarette out in it as one would if they were sweeping the sidewalk in front of the place.
P.S.karo syrup w/red food dye makes excellent stage blood.

no, but i can tell you that if if is for a play i would suggest only using a small amount because it might stain the floor, or an actor can slip on it if not cleaned properly. Try using a homemade fake blood, because if you do not use clean blood you could get a disease if it comes into contact with your eyes mouth nose ears, well you get the idea.
break a leg!!!!

Yeah. It's not cool. You just put on some gloves, cover all the area with bleach, and then clean it up with paper towels that are then disposed of in a biohazard bag. Don't worry about being liberal with the bleach...the more, the better.

nope, cant help you there, but a few years ago i worked at old navy and we took turns doing bathroom duty, well when it was my turn, i put on the rubber gloves and proceeded to do the dirty deed. i couldn't, i actually got nauseated, because of the girls pads and all, my manager did the job for me she was a sweetie pie.

Prbably much like mopping up anything else, except it's messier than some.

When I broke a liqueur bottle on my foot, unfortunately, yes.

no but i guess you would be rather erratic about it and possibly heaving whilst mopping it and trying to get the job done before anyone sees... i guess
