COLD WATER and a wash rag is all you need. DON"T USE HOT WATER it will make the stain set and you'll never get it out.

I just had to clean my grandmother's new carpet. She had blood spatters and a big drop. I used hydrogen peroxide. Do not rub it. Pour it on let it bubble and blot the liquid up with a paper towel. Keep repeating until the blood is gone. I had a nurse in the hospital suggest peroxide for my clothes, so I used it on her rug. It did not discolor or stain it at all and it was black leopard print. You can test a small area if you are concerned.

I have found that peroxide is a wonderful thing...I have a friend who bleeds often from a condition she has and when she got blood on her brand new baby blue carpet she was very upset....We got the peroxide out and let it soak for just a few minutes then we cleaned it with fresh cold water..No stains and no whitening was done to the carpet...I am sure it may depend on the type of carpet also..This was just a plush bedroom carpet in baby blue..Hope something works for you and Good Luck..:o)

There is a blood removal product called Blood Devil that can be found in grocery stores on the laundry isle. I use it for clothes, so you'll need to check if it can be used on carpets. This might help if you have tried other methods, but still have a stain.

Peroxide is a bleach and will damage your carpet. Wash with cold water and rinse repeat. Get to it NOW it won't get any easier to remove. A Biological washing powder in cold solution will help. Do NOT use hot liquid. It will fix blood to carpet .

If you have a dog, let them lick it up, it works! Dog spit is a good spot remover. Also rubbing alcohol mixed with cold water also breaks up blood. Use only a little. Attach or hold firmly a clean dry wash rag over the end of your vacuum (so that it can't be sucked into it) and suck up the dampened blood into the wash rag. Change rags while working and soak the rags in cold water when done, then wash.

You can make a paste with meat tenderizer and water and spread on top of blood stain. Leave it there for awhile, not longer than 30 minutes. Then using a damp cloth, blot it up. Don't wipe or smear, use a blotting motion.

Wet it with cold water and put a heap of salt on it. Salt will absorb
the blood and vacuum(repeat as necessary) This is a good cheap method and everyone should have these items on hand.

"Ask this dummy" is right. The peroxide answer is wrong.
Make sure you use cold water. Then call the police and turn yourself in.

Use peroxide, the same stuff you use on a cut. You may have to let it soak a few times and keep wiping it up.
