Coytee Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Are you keeping gas receipts from a lake where you took a fishing trip that also happens to be located several hours away from your home? If so, you'd be best served figuring out a better alabi....that one was proven to not work [:|] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
picky Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 But, seriously folks... If it's a light-colored carpet, hydrogen peroxide usually works well. Pour it directly onto the stain, brush it in, let it sit up to 5 minutes, flush it by dabbing with lots of clean, wet (dipped in clean, cold water) paper towels and pressing down hard to try and blot the stain up into the paper towels. Multiple applications will probably be needed; buy the large bottle. I suggest you test the peroxide on the carpet for color fastness in an inconspicuous area first. -Glenn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coytee Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Yes, but Picky....we don't yet know if we're talking about a "drop" of blood or..... something other.... [:^)] Do they sell hydrogen peroxide in 5-gallon containers? [*-)] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
picky Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Yes, I always buy mine at the crime scene eradication supply store. They sell bleach in 55 gallon drums! Cops haven't pinned anything on me.......yet! LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigStewMan Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 i'm wondering if enough subwoofers would vibrate the floor enough to cause the blood to detach from the fabric? (trying to provide an audio solution). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boom3 Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Turtle Wax uphostery cleaner is the best carpet cleaner I've ever used. However, if the stain is viscous or oily, like hairball medicine flung off the paw of an unhappy feline, Goo Gone works better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hifi jim Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Don't ask me. I tried unsuccessfully to help my friend OJ get some blood out of his friend Nicole's carpet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InnerTuber Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Bonks Hifi Jim - hehe, good one No hot water Salt or Resolve or Shampoo are worth a try Peroxide is popular as mentioned but remember it's a bleach too Soak with any of the first three and scrub Peroxides effectiveness is reduced if the carpet is really wet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenderbender Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Remember just because you can't see it anymore doesn't mean it hasn't soaked through to the padding........ 1st you need a good enzymatic digester to break all the DNA bonds 2nd you need lots and lots of bleach to fool the CSI's testing for trace 3rd you should pull back the carpet and treat the floor as well 4th Don't bury the body in one place...If you put it in the ocean remember you will need at least 1 pound of lead for every 2 pounds body weight to keep it from floating 5th Better burn down the house and the car used for transport just to be sure 6th Don't give the lame I was just fishing on xmas excuse!

This post is just silly. Incinerate the body and dump the ashes in the ocean. No need to burn down the house, just pull up the carpet and tile the floor.

oldtimer Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 But incinerate the carpet and repaint the walls before installing wood or tile floor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarryC Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 If all else fails, FWIW, I've had good luck using Fantastik on my carpet to clean up cat spit-ups and vomiting (my male has malignant stomach lymphoma), some of which was very dark and I was sure would leave a stain. It worked better than Resolve IMO, and hasn't injured the carpet or its color at all. It also has worked well on small blood spots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WMcD Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 I have not had to deal with blood. However, Oxyclean has saved the day for me with soy sauce and the like, at least when the stain is fresh. The stuff is a powder and you mix up a solution. I used an old, small detergent bottle. I seems to me that it doesn't "store" as a solution. Therefore I keep an empty squirt bottle with a dollup of the powder at the bottom. When there is a spill, I just put water in the bottle and saturate the area. With the stains on carpet, I use a scrub brush with detergent and the oxyclean, and then follow with a Little Green Clean Machine or a big extractor. You can rent a carpet cleaning machine at the local supermarket. This is very worthwhile. In my experience, the idea of spraying and blotting out a stain is nonesense. This like Tool Time. Real men get the right equipment and strong cleaners, and do a good job. It is astonishing how much dirt is in a carpet or rug which a vacuum does not remove.

oldtimer Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 More than astonishing. When my carpet was removed to put in a wood floor, it was like pigpen from peanuts had reproduced an entire family. Now wiping up blood stains is as easy as wipe and incinerate! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
