How do I get dried blood stain out of the carpet?
With all of the following you use Cold water (heat tends to coagulate or set blood): As the blood has dried use soap and cold water. Then sprinkle on Talcum powder or corn powder, let dry for at least half an hour, and brush or wet sponge off. If that doesn’t work well enough: then rub the area with glycerine, apply Napisan or other enzyme washing powder with some cold water and allow the enzymes to dissolve the blood and other organic material. If no glycerine or Napisan, then you might try cold water and salt (the salt will link to the salt already in the blood and assist in the breakup). Meat tenderiser is another alternative. For the desperate only: As the red colour component of blood is iron, an application of rust remover may work but may also (probably would) damage your carpet: so you would need to use very LITTLE and need to TEST it out first on some part of the carpet that doesn’t matter. I suggest that you get your teenager to do the cleaning under your supervision. Either
