Blood stains on carpet or upholstery can seem impossible to remove. Spontaneous bloody noses, bloody stains from your dog in heat, deep cuts that drip blood all over the place and cause you to go into crisis mode which in turn causes you to neglect your carpet or upholstery.

Hey, life happens, don't sweat it. As soon as you take care of the injury, tackle the job of preserving your carpet or furniture by following the easy instructions below. Tackle blood removal problem as immediately as possible starting with very cold water.

DO NOT ADD HEAT:
Since heat will set a blood stain making it much harder to remove, make sure not to add hot or warm water to the area. Try not to allow it to dry before the stain is completely gone, if you can, toss a wet rag on the spot while you deal with a crisis injury first.

Step 1:
Rinse the area with very cold water by blotting it with a clean white rag that has been set aside specifically for removing stains, until most or all of the stain is gone. To blot the stain, you wet the white cloth in cold water and press it into the stain, change the cloth to a new, clean side of the rag or another clean white rag. Keep doing this until most of the stain is gone.

Step 2:
In a bucket, make a mixture of cornstarch and cold water to make a pasty substance. Rub the paste lightly into the area until it is completely covered.

Step 3:
If you can easily move the item, set it in the sun to dry for a few hours.

Step 4:
Gently brush away all the dried paste and repeat until the stain is no longer visible.

If the stain is persistent, rub a pasty mixture of unseasoned meat tenderizer and cold water into the area to cover it. Let it stand for 15-30 minutes, then brush is away and blot with cold water to remove the residue of the meat tenderizer.

Removing blood from your clothes is just a little different.
