Are you concerned about your carpets and want to keep them clear from stains and other spots? There are some spills you can quickly remove and clean as long as you get to them right away. Stains on your carpet are a problem and they can make the house look messy and dirty. That is why it is so important to know how to treat and clean up stains. One stain that seems hard to work with is a blood stain. There are a few reason that this is true. One is that the blood is usually from an injury that will require your attention before cleaning your carpets does. The injury can be minor to major but no matter what you have to stop the bleeding and cover the spot. That may take some time in which case the blood is soaking in and setting on the carpet. It is important to use the right products and process. Tough Carpet Cleaning outlines a list of steps that need to be taken when trying to remove a blood stain from your carpet.
Remove Excess Blood from Carpet
When you are working with any kind of stain on your carpet it is important to work fast. You need to get to the spill and remove all the excess that you can. The blood spot can be fresh and wet in which case you can use a cloth to dab away the excess little at a time. If the blood is dried on the carpet you can still work to remove some of the excess. The first step is to scrape away what you can using a credit card of soft bristle brush. Once the bits are broken up you can use the vacuum to pull up what you can. This will expose the area so that you can start the cleaning process.
Treat Blood Stain with Cold Water
Just like many of the spots and spills on your carpet you are going to have to soak the spot so that you can start to dab with a clean cloth. This process will release the stain from the carpet fibers and help to remove it. The only specific bit of information that you need to know is when dealing with blood you MUST use cold water only! The cold water will start to dilute the spot and allow you time to pull it away. If you use warm water you are actually setting the stain and it will be almost impossible to remove. You also don’t want to oversoak the area so that it will not spread the blood stain out further.
Does Salt Remove Carpet Blood Stains?
The last step is to clean the spot with a solution that works well with blood. This can be a salt paste. You use table salt and mix with a few drops of water to make a paste that you can spread. Allow the salt to sit then dab away what you can followed up by a vacuum.
