Can someone please suggest how I get dried blood off upholstery, I have tried Vanish and 2001 carpet cleaner as the material is quite heavy, neither worked.

can you get a stain devil for blood and spray it on the stain......sorry I cant think of anything else

Cheers Chaddy, Ill try anything at this stage

how bad is it ? try using salt and water, but try dabbing it up with a paper towel or linen cloth, dont know if it works but i have tryed it on clothes and this did work good luck.

Whatever you try, don't use hot water, only warm. Hot water will set the stain.

I used the cold water and salt solution today and it works great. Saved me a trip to supermarket to get chemicals. Thank you

Hmmm where did all this blood come from, if you don't mind me saying; it all sounds a bit sinister!

how did the blood get there at the first place use good old water1

Who's blood was it?

Whenever there's blood around I usually rub it with water and salt and/or leave it to soak in abucket of warm water and salt, usually before it's been there for too long (ie. a day) then when I put it in the washing machine put a handful of soda crystals/socium bicarbonate in with it and check to see how it is after.

So it’s quite a common occurrence then?

Scary, but in normality it can be a "normal" occurance!!
Obviously, as you cannot put it in the machine, you cannot try BIO-TEX!! However, I have never tried to just rub it on! So who knows??

Treat blood stains with COLD water and salt.

Wash the worst of it away with the shower, and then use a mop for the remaining bits... just like in films!
