Its for a friend - nephew bled all over her flat last night and she needs to know how to get it out the carpet. She scrubbed it last night with just water and possibly soap but it has left a large dark stain.

Any ideas? She's really stressed about it cos its a rented flat.

mix teasoon of 'dreft' (has to be dreft as it's for wool)with some water and wet stain don't overwet and don't scrub as it'll ruin the carpet pile. Rub with fingers, then mop up with kitchen roll and the stain should go into the paper. leave to dry then hoover to restore carpet texture.
