She has fake blood on the carpet.
Tell here to fake off ;D
or
Rub some fake garlic on it
or
Tell her not to use that fake carpet cleaning solution called 1001
or
Simply look in a book for a carpet cleaner but try and avoid 'Fakes-R-Us'
-
What if its real blood and the first person she called refused to move it ???
dddnnn the plot thickens ;D
-
Ok. Does that mean no one
knows? I'm new to this. Please help
-
Drive a steak through it. Start in the middle of the stain, working your way out.
-
What if it is Dracula, trying to hide its pray.. :o

Count dracula the count ;D

We might know, it's just we need a lot more detail.

get a white cloth and see if it transfers with northing on other than water. if it does then rinse with plain water to see whats left, if no transfer, try a M/S on the towel if yes then use that and rinse, if not try other things, start mild and work your way up, and just do small test patches not the whole stain, theres water based solvents, paint removers in fact anything in your arsenal but just be careful and pretest, and remember, very small amounts, your seeing if you get transfer first. if nothing works then its onto reducers but only use if you know what your doing, if not then turn the job down, buy some fake blood and practice. maybe she's got some fake blood left and an offcut of the same carpet, ask her if you can take it home and do some tests.
hope this helps

i know!
don't know what come over me. sorry guys i'll be back to normal in no time. ;D
if it doesn't come out, you could fake blood the whole carpet or better still, put a plaster on it. ;D
-
derek, this isn't a complaint and i am not taking the p**s but is it a northern thing to write 'northing' instead of 'nothing', do you write as you speak for certain words.
i think it's cute,
colin ;D
-
big fingers col, wife aint complaining, well! not about the fingers anyhoo. ;D
-
Colin, did you just say you think Derek is cute??
-
You know what they say big fingers small wand
Go and stick your glide on the end ;D

Colin, did you just say you think Derek is cute??
my wife thinks i'm cute, well i think she said that, certainly started with a "C" and a "U" ;D
-
well, cute in a northern sort of way! there he goes again,'anyhoo' , must be a language divide, my wife is from hartlepool, when we first got together her family thought that i spoke perfect queens english, i am from fulham and constantly drop my h's and don't cross my t's, a bit like del boy, but there you go, honour your roots and respect!

Imitation blood ??? - no big deal. I'ts only a combination of sugar, water, 'food' dye & starch. Most cleaning products will remove that without any problem

I have done several job for the bbc cleaning up houses they have used as sets. There are different formulations of fake blood available and the ease of removal varies. The fake blood that the make up department is different to the blood in the exploding capsules they use for gunshots etc. There are quite a few manufacturers making different types. I have never failed to remove it but some will come off easier than others. A lot of the time the stain can be removed just by pre-spraying with powerburst then extracting. Other times I have used white vinegar or meths.
As Derek has said if you get a white towel ans put the solution on the towel and dab the stain you will see what will work.

Absolutely true. Can also be applied to real blood. :)
