Are You Able to Fully Clean Blood Out of Carpet?
The answer to this question essentially depends on what you consider to be “fully clean.” It’s important to understand blood is extremely difficult to completely remove from carpet. At the same time, it depends on the type of carpet you have.
In most instances, the blood stain you see is the result of it seeping through to the padding. Although you may only see a small spot, the padding could have a stain up to five times as large as the area you see, which means the cement or wood subfloor may have been contaminated.
It’s then necessary to remove the pad and carpet, while decontaminating the subfloor to prevent any future contamination or odor. However, your homeowner’s policy will typically cover all of these services as well as the replacement of your pad and carpet.
