My mother has a few blood spots,on her carpet,what can I use to remove it? I dont have a professional,cleaning machine, but do have a domestic machine.

Rich, if you can call into ours sometime we have an enzyme trigger spray you could use.

Ok John, will do, and get a chance to discuss further what we were talking about on fb the other day.

Now sorted for this collected a solution from John this afternoon.

Alternatively, if you don't use hydrogen peroxide, let it work and then rinse it off. It works too!
-
Cold water first. Its quite often all that is needed to remove the stain. It wont remove the germs though!
-
Bicarbonate Of Soda works well, mix it with water so it forms a thick paste and then cover the stain. Leave it for an hour, then use a towel to gather it all up. Once it's dry, get your hoover out to pick up any remaining powder.

As the blood stains are old, scrape a dull knife across the carpet fibres to remove as much as possible flecks of dried blood. Wet the stain with a mixture of 3% hydrogen peroxide and cold water. Let it air dry completely. Mix 3 teaspoon of mild liquid detergent and 1 cup of water. Spray on the affected area and let sit for 10 minutes and then blot dry. Apply a mixture of 1 tablespoon ammonia and 1 cup of water. Let sit five minutes, then blot dry again. Ammonia is highly effective but may discolour the carpet and damage it. So alternatively, you can call a professional carpet cleaning company to deal with the stains instead of you for better. ;)
