Below are six easy DIY products you can attempt.<\/p>\n<p>You will need a spray bottle, sponge and a microfiber cloth.<\/p>\n<p>Remember to read your carpet care manual for any warnings and instructions especially about certain cleaning chemicals. Also, test any solutions on a hidden area before treating the stained area.<\/p>\n<h4>A. Cold water<\/h4>\n<p>Using cold water is the simplest method to get blood out of your carpet. Cold water works best if the stain is still fresh.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Simply spray the cold water on the stain and dab it.<\/li>\n<li>Repeat the process until the stain is no longer visible.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>B. Baking soda and water<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Cover the blood stain with a generous amount of baking soda.<\/li>\n<li>Let it sit for 15 minutes or so to loosen the blood from carpet fibre.<\/li>\n<li>Spray cold water on it and dab with a microfiber cloth.<\/li>\n<li>Keep adding water and dabbing until the stain is cleared.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>C. Salt and water solution<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Mix salt and cold water.<\/li>\n<li>Use a sponge to apply the solution on the bloodstain.<\/li>\n<li>Let it sit for 15 minutes to soak up the blood.<\/li>\n<li>Use a damp cloth to blot it out.<\/li>\n<li>Repeat the process until the stain is removed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>D. Dish washing liquid and water solution<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Mix a few tablespoons of dishwashing liquid with cold water.<\/li>\n<li>Use a sponge to gently apply the solution onto the bloodstain.<\/li>\n<li>Let it sit for a few minutes. If the stain is older, let it sit for longer.<\/li>\n<li>Wipe the stain with a wet cloth.<\/li>\n<li>Repeat the process if necessary.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>E. Hydrogen peroxide<\/h4>\n<p>Hydrogen peroxide removes stubborn stains. However, it may bleach your carpet. Test it on a hidden spot to see how it reacts with your carpet.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>If hydrogen peroxide doesn\u2019t discolour your carpet, pour it directly onto the bloodstain.<\/li>\n<li>Let it sit for a few minutes then dab it with a wet cloth.<\/li>\n<li>If your carpet is bleached, use one part water and one part vinegar solution to neutralise the reaction and prevent further damage.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>F. Ammonia and water solution<\/h4>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Note:<\/strong> Do not attempt this method if you have a cotton carpet. Ammonia might cause permanent damage.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<ul>\n<li>For very stubborn bloodstains, an ammonia solution might do the trick.<\/li>\n<li>Mix two tablespoons of ammonia with half a cup of warm water.<\/li>\n<li>Let it sit for at least 5 minutes.<\/li>\n<li>Wipe the stain from outwards towards the centre.<\/li>\n<li>Spray cold water to the area and pat dry with a dry cloth.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>G. Carpet Cleaner Shampoo<\/h4>\n<p>For large bloodstains, it\u2019s better to deep clean the entire carpet using a carpet cleaner. Get a powerful <a href=\"https:\/\/cleanhousefast.co.uk\/best-carpet-cleaner-shampoo\/\">carpet cleaner shampoo<\/a> and add it to the machine.<\/p>\n<p>The shampoo will lift the bloodstain and neutralise any smells as well.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em><strong>Read also:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/cleanhousefast.co.uk\/how-to-get-milk-smell-out-of-carpet\/\">How To Get Milk Smell Out Of Carpet?<\/a><\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Step 3: Rinse<\/h3>\n<p>After using one of the above products it\u2019s a good idea to rinse the spot with cold water to remove lingering stains and get rid of smells from the cleaning solution.<\/p>\n<p>Spray cold water onto the spot and dab with a dry absorbent cloth.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Note: <\/strong>If you\u2019ve deep cleaned you carpet with carpet cleaner shampoo, there\u2019s no need to rinse.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3>Step 4: Dry<\/h3>\n<p>If your carpet is thick and heavy, it will require a long time to dry, so make sure to place it in a ventilated area so that it can dry completely.<\/p>\n<p>If it does not dry fully, it\u2019ll develop a musty or mouldy smell.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Blood on a carpet can quickly dry and settle into the fibres.
