Question as title please. My wife has attempted removal using a damp
cloth impregnated with Fairy Liquid, this had simply lightened the
stains. Any ideas please?

Do not apply any form of heat(*). Cold water, plenty of it, leave to
soak for a few minutes, clean cloth/kitchen roll, blot up the
water/softened coagulated blood, repeat with more clean cold water
and clean cloth kitchen roll, repeat...

(*) Heat will rupture the red cells/denature the protiens and release
the iron held in the haemaglobin. You then end up with a effectively
a rust stain which will be very hard to remove. Keeping the red cells
in tact and rinsing away works, but once the blood has coagulated you
need to let the water soften the blood first.


Worrying level of expertise there.... ;-)
