How to Get Blood Out of Fabric Couch?

Pre-treat the Blood Stain

For couches with an ‘SW’ mark on the care label, use a wet white cloth and dab it on the couch to make the stained area damp. As you dab to wet the stained area, pour some isopropyl alcohol to keep on blotting the stain and saturate it. Be sure, however, to use cold water as hot water can easily set the stain. You use a white cloth to damp and clean the couch since the dye from colored cloths could stain the couch.

Dry the Area

Use dry paper towels to blot the stained area and remove excess liquid and blood from the couch. Do not rub but rather a dab as rubbing could spread the blood making your work harder. Keep dabbing on the couch until the fabric is dry.

Clean the Stain

Choose the Right Cleaning Solution Once you have saturated the stain, you need to choose the right cleaning solution to use. Be sure to spot test the cleaner you choose to get blood out of fabric couch.
This is meant to ensure that the cleaning solution does not bleach your couch fabric. You can choose between;

• Fresh lemon juice with a little salt added
• Baking soda
• Hydrogen peroxide
• Hairspray
• Dishwashing liquid
• Alcohol {for couch care labels marked ‘S’ only)

Wet the Stained Area with Your Cleaning Solution

Carefully mix the cleaning solution you choose in a bowl. Soak a cloth with the solution and use it to blot the stained surface. Let the solution seep into the stain for at least 30 minutes before you start cleaning. Your cleaning solution should moisten the blood and make it easy to clean. Use a dry cloth to dab the stained fabric to absorb the moistened blood and the excess cleaning solutions. Keep doing this until the fabric is clean and dry.
