Had 2 blood jobs recently, last week an old dear had a burst blood vessel in her leg and didn't notice until she splattered her bedroom floor and today I had blood from a dog.
I know about PPE and sanitising everything after but the human one, although it came out seemed to prove alot more difficult to remove on virtually the same type of carpet albeit with different cleansers.

Was using stainpro on the human variety but today I had a small amount of O/S microsplitters left in a bottle from about a year ago and decided to put the last of it undiluted on the blood before setting up, after applying it and brushing in it appeared to dissolve it before extraction, and this was dried in blood after she had applied a ton of vanish.
So is there a difference which means that animal blood is removed easier or is it down to the cleansers?

Probably down the the carpet fibre, easier to remove protien based stains from synthetics and harder from wool,
Cold salt water saturate the stain and leave 15 / 20 mins while setting the machine up does help alot

Cold salt water saturate the stain

Strangely enough I did one of these the other week where the ambulance crew had told the old lady to do just that, when they came out to the bleeding leg.
There was still some in the carpet (blood) and it came out easily enough but then it was synthetic carpet.
