Title: Dog blood wont move from the carpet
Post by: benny d on December 14, 2005, 12:53:59 pm

Hi all,
Cleaned a ladys lounge a few weeks ago. She was out but her son was there. Did the clean but COULDNT move two very dark/black looking blood spots. We told the son that the blood wouldnt move.
Tried all sorts of things using a small spotter machine. No luck...
Going back tomorrow to clean a few other stains and to re try and move the blood stains.
I used rust remover etc etc, but as I say it didnt even seem to lessen in colour.
Is there any other ideas as to what I could try? Usually I can remove most stains but this is a pig!
Thanks in advance  ;)
Ben

Ben,

First I would try try something like Prochem Stainpro and see if there is any transfer onto a cloth.

If there is repeat as required.

If not then apply an enzyme product , leave for 20 mins and extract.

cheers ,

Doug

Had a dog who's foot had bled on the carpet. A big mess. Most got out with Prochem Citrus Gell. Charged custy for extra work and one litre of Citrus Gell, saved the carpet.

Hi Guys,

Once it's bonded it's a protein bond  and the only way you are going to break this is by using enzymes.

This is one of the only occaisions I would use enzymes and I would make sure I extracted as thoroughly as possible.

Cheers
