There are some stains you might get on your carpet that can be hard to remove and clean off. The best thing you can do is to make sure you have a plan to clean stains that might occur. There are some stains that tend to be common such as juice spills, food being dropped and high traffic stains. These are all things that you want to have a plan to treat but you also want to make sure you have spot tested your cleaning methods to ensure that they are not causing any trouble to your carpet. When it comes to stains that occur on carpets, blood often make the list. It is a good idea to know how to clean blood off carpet. Tough Carpet Cleaning outlines three methods you can use to remove blood from your carpets.
Does Cold Water & Dish Soap Remove Blood Stains on Carpet?
One of the first things that you should know is that you want to always use cold water when treating blood stains. The main reason that you want to do that is because the warm water will cause the stain to be set in the carpet fiber and much harder to remove. You can use cold water that you mix with some mild dish soap. Then you want to make sure that you apply to the blood stain with a spray bottle so that the blood is diluted and loosened up. You can then use a cloth to press the area and pull the stain from the carpet. You want to be sure that you repeat the process over again if it is necessary. This is a process that can work well if you get to the stain quickly and are able to attack the stain.
Can Salt Treat Carpet Blood Stains?
If you want to try a different type of stain removal you can always use the salt method. The salt has to be mixed in with cold water so that it can be used as a paste. You want to start with a bowl that you add some cold water in. Then you take your standard table salt and add it to the water so that it creates a paste that can be laid over the area. You want to layer the stain with the salt and let it sit for about five minutes. Then you want to use a clean cloth to press the salt over the stain so that it pulls the stain off the carpet. This is a great way to remove the stain from the carpet.
What Does Hydrogen Peroxide Do to Blood on Carpet?
The next option that you have is to use hydrogen peroxide that tends to do the job for you. You can use the peroxide to place on the blood and you want to let it sit for around one hour. The action will pull the blood off the fibers, dilute it and loosen it so that when you press a clean cloth it will pull it away from the carpet.
