If stain pro fails as it often does ,try ammonia,use a 10 to 15% mix if a large area or almost neat if a few blobs
acid rinse

M power always does the trick on blood!

In laundry we use soaking in cold water to break down the blood stains and I use a similar principle on carpets.

I spray on a little amount of cold water and leave it on the fibres for three to four minutes.  Then give it a quick brush and extract with cold water.  It always does the trick.

But where the customer has had a right bash at it - its much more difficult.

Hi all,

Well I have done the job and it was a alright. It was a Berber carpet and the blood had been well washed in after the custys attempts. I gave it a rinse then a go with stain pro. and then again. It was difficult to see if there was anything left after being wet. I did have a go on one bit with prochem blood remover but I wasnt that impressed. I did give the rust remover ago which worked quite well. there isn't a massive chance of wick back as it was a fine spray rather than a big spillage however it did seem to have sprayed every where. I finished off with Mpower. I told her to give me a call if after everything if it did somehow reappear but they and I were both pleased.

Thanks for all those who gave helpful advice! 

Paul (moss) i'm still wondering how you would have tackled the job

Thorough COLD water rinse. Apply plenty of M Power at 80-1. Brush gently, leave for 10-15 mins. Cold rinse.
If brownish stains left use rust remover.
Use PPE and sort mc after.

What tends to often happen in cases of blood spills is someone in the house tackles it and pushes it further into the carpet and backing and the underlay.

If that happens then it will need a lot of rinsing to remove it.

If it's just on the surface it will probably come straight out with cold water rinsing but if it's been forced down deep then what might seem OTT solutions may be necessary.

Remember to thoroughly clean your machine and hoses after blood removal.

I see the season of goodwill to all hasnt started yet for some then lmao....... Merry Christmas everyone

To stop wick back You need to get to the seat of the problem.

Wick back is only deep seated deposits coming back to the surface.

Get in there and flush it all out.

I would use Prochems stainpro sprayed in heavily agitate and leave to dwell
for 5 mins or so.

Then rinse extract with Fibre and Fabric rinse.
Rust remover only needs to be used if a brown residue [iron] is left.

Hi

With blood you need a biocide and cold water.

Blood is a pathogen so needs to be neutralized and it congeals under heat so cold water has to be used.
