Dear Eddie,

Actually, I do happen to have a question like that! My toddler is prone to nosebleeds, so I’ve gotten really good at getting blood out of fabrics. However, what’s the best and/or easiest way to get dried blood out of the carpet? I happen to have a little drop spot that I JUST found from a couple days ago. I haven’t tackled
it since it’s already dried, and I haven’t had a chance to look up a good way to do it without ruining the surrounding carpet. Thanks!
Sincerely,
Prone to Nosebleeds

ANSWER:

Dear Prone to Nosebleeds,

Sorry to hear about this unfortunate incidents. This is easier to deal with then you may think. Purchase some 3% hydrogen peroxide. Pour about 1 tbsp of the peroxide on the stain. Let it sit for 5 minutes and then “soak it up with a dry cloth. It should not make a difference whether the blood has dried or not. If the process does not get up the blood stain the first time, try it again allowing the peroxide to sit over night and then apply a damp cloth to the stain to lift the stain.

If you have any floor or general cleaning questions, please send them in to “Ask Eddie” at morrservices[at]yahoo[dot]com.
