Multi-Clean How to Remove Blood Stains from carpet, upholstery, bedding and clothing

Blood stains are a problem on all types of soft surfaces including carpeting, upholstery, mattresses, bedding, and clothing. These stubborn stains can be effectively removed with a little know how and the right product. Why is Blood Red? Blood is red in color because it contains an iron rich protein called “hemoglobin” which is responsible for transporting oxygen throughout the body. The iron component called “heme” gives blood its red color. How come BLOOD stains are harder to remove overtime? Like many stains, the longer it sits the harder it is to remove. Blood stains are the same, so when possible be pro-active and remove stains quickly. Blood stains darken overtime, so the stain is actually reacting to form modified compounds that are more difficult to remove.
