Your sofa is a popular spot in the home. Relaxing, unwinding, visiting, storytelling, and watching epic films, or ridiculous ones; that couch is a common area where many residents indulge their spare time. You want to keep your couch in the best condition considering the activities that take place. Including spontaneous nose bleeds or a playful wresting match gone wrong. No matter the circumstances, there is now dried blood adorning your favorite sofa.
 

Direct Carpet Cleaners would like to help you remove that blood stain. Below are a few methods to lifting the blood stain from cloth upholstery.

Mild Detergent Upholstery Cleaning Solution Method

1. In a container or squirt bottle, combine 1 TBS liquid dish soap with 2 cups of cold water. Mix well.
2. Using a clean cloth, sponge the solution onto the cloth and gently moisten the blemished area. Do NOT saturate the fabric, merely wet it down and allow it to set for approximately five minutes.
3. Using a designated tooth brush, gently brush a stain with moderate pressure. Do not scrub too firmly or brush too vigorously.
4. Once the dried brush as been worked through, blot the area with a clean, dampen cloth. Repeat until stain has been successfully removed.
5. Perform a final rinse using a clean, damp cloth.
6. Towel dry the remaining moisture.

Hydrogen Peroxide Couch Cleaning Method
