Best way to get blood off a sofa please

[bran]

We have rough-textured tweedy style fabric on the sofa and ds has just had a nose-bleed. I'm less concerned about ds as he is wipe-clean, I don't think the sofa is going to come out of this sparkling though.

TIA

whatever you do dont put hot water on it
cold will be best

cold water and salt?

Just what I was going to say poshwellies

strategic placing of cushions

or toddlers

I had a go with a flannel and cold water and it's got most of it out. If I use salt should I add it to the water and dip the flannel in it or should I sprinkle the salt directly onto the blood stain?

I'd mix the salt with a tiny bit of water ,make a paste rub that in and then blot off
