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.

Repeat until stain is so light it cannot be seen?

Vanish laundry stain spray ?

The material matters - wool, polyester, silk etc not all the same.

I think hydrogen peroxide is good for removing blood. What itll do to your
carpets I have no idea. ;-)

Too late for that. The detergent in the Fairy Liquid will already have
ruptured the cells.

But without the heat explicitly mentioned?

hum, the detergent or the salt?

Hopefully most or all of the iron is still bound into the haemaglobin
even if the cells are ruptured. The heat causes the protien structure
to unfold/fall apart which allows the iron to escape.

Surely it's common knowledge that blood is best dealt with as soon as
possible with cold water only.

No need to do it as soon as possible. I wash clothes
in cold water and have never had any problem with
blood on the clothes and I bled like a stuck pig at
times when I was still on clopidogrel.

I reckon some folk here would pay to see those pics.
