@ThePantyDroper I have talked to some experts at accident cleaners.com and they said that bleach and hydrogen peroxide work for taking blood out, but do not infect. With blood stains,you need to remove them completely (carpet padding and all) otherwise it will leave a foul odor that is even harder to get out. for large blood stains it is best to use companies with hospital grade chemicals like accident cleaners.com

Omg ty I spill dark blue ink on the floor and it look so destroy thank to this no one didn't notice :)

but will it blend?

[LAHrebirth]

this works !!!!

but i used detergent not soapy water, the trick is to not be stingey on the detergent when applying to the stains as the soapy part cleans it

Does this technique work with blood? I have a lot of blood all over the carpets of one of my rooms and the trunk of my car. Need to clean it urgently and it will not come out. Any tips would be much appreciated!
