7 Easy Steps to Get Blood Out of Carpet (Safely and Effectively!)

Accidents happen, and sometimes that means your carpet ends up with a bloodstain. Whether it’s a minor cut, a nosebleed, or something more serious, don’t panic! With the right steps and tools, you can safely and effectively remove blood from your carpet. Here’s your fun, step-by-step guide to tackling bloodstains like a pro.

Step 1: Safety First—Protect Yourself!
If the blood isn’t yours, take precautions to stay safe.

- Wear rubber gloves: Protect your hands from potential hazards.
- Use a mask and safety glasses: Avoid breathing in sanitizer fumes or getting blood in your eyes.
- Sanitize the area: Spray the stain with a disinfectant to kill any germs or viruses.

Step 2: Blot, Don’t Rub!
The key to removing blood is to act fast and avoid spreading the stain.

- Blot with a paper towel or rag: Gently press down on the stain to soak up as much blood as possible. Keep blotting until the blood stops transferring to the towel.

Step 3: Apply a Blood Stain Remover
Now it’s time to break down the stain.

- Use a blood stain remover: Spray or apply the remover to the stain and let it sit for a few minutes to work its magic.
- Pro Tip: Hydrogen peroxide is a great alternative for quick fixes. Just blot immediately after applying to lift the stain.

Step 4: Extract the Stain
Once the stain remover has done its job, it’s time to rinse and extract.

- Use a carpet cleaner machine: Extract the stain remover and any remaining blood from the carpet. Be careful not to over-wet the carpet, as this can push blood into the padding.

Step 5: Dry the Area
Proper drying is crucial to prevent mold or lingering odors.

- Use fans: Place floor fans or ceiling fans over the area to speed up drying.
- Repeat if necessary: Sometimes, it takes a couple of tries to fully remove the stain.

Here’s a quick checklist to make sure you’re fully prepared:

- Rubber gloves
