I have blood on a nylon based medium blue carpet. It has been there a couple of weeks. The carpet has been shampooed but the blood did not come out. What can I use? icon_cry.gif

you should always apply copious amounts of COLD water to blood while it is still wet.

once dry it is a tough stain to shift.

My wife is a curtain maker, when blood is the curtain because of the needle, she get a length of cotton from a cotton reel and put it her mouth to produce saliva then rub the blood off. I couldn't believe it when the blood came off! Got to be the same person blood, don't know if it will work on carpet, no harm in trying but might be too late now it dried

Alchol does not clean off blood (it didn't when I cut my finger while using an alcohol cleaner on an electronic device)
