Apparently no one ever told these people that you can't use general hydrogen peroxide on colors...it bleaches it or does nothing at all because it's not strong enough. Ever notice how your skin gets really white for a while after you use it on yourself? Use Woolite OxyDeep spray on carpet cleaner...the stuff is amazing! I've used it to get out stains nothing else could touch. While it's base is of hydrogen peroxide, it's a stronger concentration then the stuff on the first aid aisle and has had it's bleaching agents removed so it's safe for colors.

Oxyclean Carpet something. I pretty sure thats what it's called. If not it's Oxyclean something, but it is for your carpet. My boyfriend got into a fight at my house and they had blood everywhere, and that's what I used. Just let it sit for a few minutes, and blot it out. Good Luck!

I haven't tried this myself, but i have a sheet on stain removal and for blood it says to put hydrogen peroxide on it then sprinkle unseasoned meat tenderizer. Wait 30 minutes then rinse with cool water. If you try it, let me know if it works! Hope it helps.
PS....Also, if it is fresh blood, and your own, put some of your own saliva on it first to see if that works. I have done this step before and it does get a lot of it out. There are chemicals in saliva that break down blood cells if it is your own.

If it is your own personal blood then (sounds wierd) but you can spit on it and it will come right out. This trick only works if its your blood and your spit. Other than that I would try peroxide. Then a reslove carpet cleaner or something. The blood will alwyas remain there but it will fade so you cant see it by the naked eye.

i just got out of the hospital and one of the nurses said hydrogen peroxide will get blood out of ANYTHING. So In the future do it as fast as you can. Also, my mom always told me stains will never come out after you've put something in the dryer. I'm sure you all know that already but still.

FOLEX - you can find it at Walmart or other stores. My little hometown food market even has it!
This is the best spot cleaner on the earth! Spray it... rub the stain with your finger or shoe... then dab it with a white towel.
The stain disappears. Even little brown spots or dirt... it's freaking amazing! Every home should have a bottle handy.

First I put resolve on it and then called the professionals to clean it! If it's been there for more than 2 days you will need the pros.

use those new shout wipes or the tide pen- if it's a smaller stain. If like someone was murdered there or something (kidding- hopefully) use hydrogen peroxide
