Blood stains come out with hydrogen peroxide

Submitted by Sherri on September 9, 2007 - 08:46.

We once had a dog that busted her stitches after a surgery, and she got blood all over a light blue carpet. We were able to get the blood stains completely out. If blood stains get on washable fabric or carpet, just pour some hydrogen peroxide on it the stain, and watch the stain bubble right out (you may need to scrub with a brush or white towel) - for fabrics, you will need to wash through with clean water; for carpet, you will need to blot with a clean white towel, dampened with clean water. Try not to saturate the carpet too much, of course, because you don't want it to stay wet too long or it will mildrew. After the stain is gone, just blot with a dry white towel.

* NEVER use VINEGAR on a blood stain - vinegar will make the stain become permanent.
