Heart. How To Remove Blood

From fabric: Dab with a cloth dipped in cold water (never warm/hot). If the stain persists, soak the mark in cold water with a squirt of washing-up liquid for 10 minutes, then dab dry. If the item is white or colourfast (test on an inconspicuous area if you are not sure) pour hydrogen peroxide through the fabric, scrub and rinse in cold water.

From upholstery/carpet: Cover the spot with a paste of flour or talcum powder and water. Rub gently, allow to dry, then brush off.

Always check manufacturer's instructions first. Always try a test patch first. If you are unsure as to whether the item you are cleaning is suitable for our instructions, take professional cleaning advice first.
