Enz-all from chemspec is brilliant on blood

[Carpet Dawg]

enzall is good product but i would make sure the client isn't a hypochondriac or has asthma before spraying it on their mattress.

Depending on the age of the stain and the type of fabric you'd probably have more luck with a rust remover.

[Mike Halliday]

Stronger peroxide with ammonia

Chemspec dyegone.

Rust remover is often suggested to remove the remnants  from blood

thanks guys will start with chemspec and then try rust remover.

Whatever you do, don't use hot water, it cooks blood and then it's permanent. Cold - cold - cold

I do not know what solvent is in tippex remover but any solvent based product is not going to be any good on removing a substance such as blood. Simon is giving good advice on the cold water (Luke warm is better) Blood flows through the body much easier at body temperature. Adding salt to the water will make the rinsing process far more efficient. Enziemes work well. Dwell and plent of fushing.
Although recommended I have never achieved much sucess with rust removers on blood stains. Peroxides do work well. Have never failed and have had some real nasties, crimes scenes ect.

We all know its highly unlikley that the stain will come out and for the effort thats need and  v what they will pay its not worth the effort.

I always ask , "any stains ?"  if they say yes i tell them they wont come out saves a load of hassle

"We all know it's highly unlikely that the stain will come out"?? Blood, when treated correctly, is easy. As Simon posted, cold rinse first. Not going to post what product I use on blood as many will simply say "that won't work". Only ever have to resort to rust remover on a few occasions.

Mpower/Bioclean will work on blood. However my first choice would always be an enzyme detergent.

[Carpet Dawg]

Blood on carpet or synthetic upholstery piece of p1ss. Blood (or any staining) on a mattress a whole different ball game. I love enzymes but use them in this situation and the mattress will laugh at you. I've had success with rust remover though.

[Shaun_Ashmore]

I would use a hair drier to speed dry as to avoid any wick back.

dye gone used blood is fizzing in one area but one spot is proving very stubborn.

I don't believe you .   show me a photo of you removing a dried blood stain from a Mattress until then i think its rubbish and cant be done.
 and even if you can stains are just a waste of time and effort

[adrian marsh]

Neil. Try MPower spotter on blood. Leave to dwell for several minutes and extract. Rest of the mattress MPower, leave to dwell, overspray with micro splitter, aggitate really well and extract again. Most if not all stains will be gone. Only mattresses I've ever had a problem with are the ones where DIY "stuff" has been applied first.

Adi - i am shocked   

You have always been anti wet cleaning mattresses - you have gone to the dark side

Depends on the type of staining and the product applied. No amount of power vaccing (with or without uvc)will remove blood or vomit. It is true however, that just wet cleaning a mattress will not destroy dust mites etc. Depends on which forum you're on as to whether I've gone to the dark side

[CleanerCarpets]

Lol! Yes I know, I don't know if you are on the light or dark!!
