Does anyone know how to get blood out of the carpet? Our dog had a bloody nose and left a pretty big stain in the livingroom. We have light colored wool carpet and I don't want any products that might bleach it. Any suggestions?
Try OxyClean it is awesome! I have light gray carpet and have never had a problem with it bleaching the color out.
It gets up grape juice or anything like that.
I was trimming my dogs claws and nipped her too close and it bled like crazy. I got it under control on her but the Oxy Clean took it out of the carpet really well.
I recommend the oxy-clean. It's fabulous at getting bloodstains out of clothes. Just be sure you test it on a small, out of the way spot first because it can lighten the carpet (at least it says it may be possible on the box) and follow the correct dilution instructions.
I use two wonderful products called PreSpot and Sol-U-Mel. They have gotten blood out of clothes, red wine and juice out of the carpet, spaghetti stains, etc. Plus there is no bleach or other harmful chemicals in them. I use them because they are safer for my family and I am amazed at what they clean up! Call me at ###-###-#### and I can tell you about the store I purchase them from.
Good luck!
I am a homebirth midwife assistant and we use hydrogen peroxide on the blood spills. Pour directly on the spot, let it foam for a bit and then soak up with a dry rag. Repeat if needed.

I have had the best luck with salt when it comes to all kinds of carpet stains! Just sprinkle the the stain liberally with salt, and rub with a wet (cold, of course) cloth. It should come out . Good luck!
