Getting blood off carpet?

[LynetteScavo]

DS2 has a nose bleed, obviously swill owed a lot if blood, and has now been sick on the carpet.

Oh joy. How do I get this off?

Cold water and blot don't sxrub.

*scrub

Use bicarb to get rid of the vomit smell once you've got rid of the blood and sick.

Thanks- I have had to scrub! There's still a stain - no real vomit as it was on an empty stomach.

Vanish liquid (the pink pour one in a bottle, not spray). Pour it on the stain and it will fizz up white and you just wash it off. Used it a lot when dogs have had bleeding pads etc. and always works with no marks on carpet after.

Lady Macbeth-is that you?

I've used 1001 stain remover on (quite old, def dried) bloodstains successfully before (and a number of other marks on the carpet - left that flat with fewer stains than it started with!).

My mum used to use vinegar in water when we had a nosebleed. I think it's something to do with the iron in the blood.

I'm sure Kim and Aggie would have a remedy!
