According to OSHA and the CDC, any body fluid has to be considered pathogenic, and may require special cleaning procedures and disposal processes not included with normal carpet cleaning. Small droplets of blood will often come out of most textiles with ease, while larger spills will require an IICRC Technician Certified in Hazard Waste Removal. Medications in the system of the human or pet will most likely complicate 100% removal due to synthetic dyes being present in the bloodstream.

Care Tips:
For small droplets of blood on synthetic textiles, try blotting 3% Hydrogen Peroxide and a cotton towel on the spot. A fizzing action will occur upon contact of the peroxide, do not be alarmed.. Use a sprayer or dropper to apply as little peroxide as needed and continue to use fresh portions of the towel until you're satisficed with the results. Be sure to wear gloves and to not let foreign blood come in contact with you in any way.

Mike, peroxide should be the process after trying to clean with a cold treatment of a neutral surfactant cleaner and cold rinse. If it’s still there, that’s when the peroxide should be used

Care Tips:
For small droplets of blood on synthetic textiles, start with a cold treatment of a neutral surfactant cleaner, extracting with a Wet/Dry vacuum or blotting with a cotton towel and cold water rinse, if some blood remains, try blotting 3% Hydrogen Peroxide and a cotton towel on the spot. A fizzing action will occur upon contact of the peroxide, do not be alarmed.. Use a sprayer or dropper to apply as little peroxide as needed and continue to use fresh portions of the towel.

Most would use an extraction of some sort to flush as much blood out as possible. This is why most spotting instructions for professionals is flawed because they will extract more so than blot.

These are instructions for homeowners.
