    Salt water is meant to be good.. soaking the jeans in salty water should help shift some if it.. I think the real trick is not to let it dry but it is probably too late for that.

    Thanks for the bio washing liquid advice - this has worked on the carpet, hopefully it will dry well.

    Not sure if the stain devils has worked because the wash isn't finished yet, shame i didn't have the one for blood :(

    Hi all, my friend scratched their foot (i dont know how!) and now there is blood on my cookie coloured carpet in the living room! I am really nervous about cleaning it as dont' know where to start. Didn't notice it until the morning after so it is dry. Anyone got any suggestions please? Can you let me know if you have tried them or if you have just heard. (apparently the same persons spit is supposed to do it - yuck! will only try that if i have to!)

    Get a cloth and soak it in cold water then squeeze it out then rub the stain gently inwards (ie don't spread it)
    If that doesn't work try a vanish bar - but again keep the water cool.
    Start gently and work up. (ie don't bring the 'big guns' in until you've tried the easy/simple solutions.)

    Just off to check and see what Shirley says for you, in case those don't work.

    Hi angelpye,

    There's an earlier thread with lots of ideas that may help so I've added your thread to it to keep the suggestions together.

    Shaving Foam is good for all sorts of stains on carpets
    Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones that let in the light

    My husband had a nose bleed this morning and it is on my new duvet cover, new carpet and on the wall by the light switch.

    I don't want to make it worse but could do with some advice.

    More worried about the carpet, light brown/beige colour and it is only one small spot but have visions of it getting bigger.
