Different types of fabrics, artificial and natural leather require different approaches.

Basic cleaning rules for exposure to blood spots

To remove undesirable stains from the surface of the sofa without residual traces and divorces, it is necessary to adhere to the basic rules of blood processing based on the physical and chemical properties of the product:

1. Treatment is carried out only with cold or even ice water. A high-temperature liquid will cause the protein to fold, causing the fabric to become sticky, and after cleaning, yellow marks will remain on it.
2. The finished cleaning agent must not be applied directly to the upholstery. They need to wet a working tool, not the spot itself. Preliminary moistening is carried out only if necessary to soak the formation and for this purpose only water is used.
3. The contamination can be completely removed only by acting on it from the edges to the center. Otherwise, the dirt will spread to a large surface area of ​​the sofa.
4. It is strongly forbidden to apply several exposure options at once. Otherwise, the stain can be removed together with part of the upholstery.
5. It is recommended to rub the formation in one direction, in the direction of the arrangement of the fibers.

The easiest way is to wash the blood from the couch using specialized stain removers. If the right tool is not at hand, and to tackle the problem immediately, it is worth trying one of the folk methods based on the use of improvised drugs.

• Fresh formation on the surface of the sofa should first be treated with soap. Wipe the cloth with cold water and lightly moisten the contaminated area, moving from the edges to the center, if there is no pronounced pile. Then we lather the sponge or cloth and try to wash the stain, moving along the same pattern. Remove detergent residues with a clean damp cloth.
• The dried up traces of blood will not resist the dishwashing detergent. Active drug diluted with water twice, do not strongly expand, only mix well. We moisten the fabric in it and moisten the problem area with soaking movements. We wait a quarter of an hour and start with a toothbrush to rub the stain, then we remove the remnants of the remedy with dry napkins. If the first time to remove the problem did not work, we make one more approach.

Tip: Treatment options that imply a pre-impregnation of a contamination agent are best used when accessing both sides of the fabric. Only in this case it is possible to completely remove all traces without the risk of manifestation of yellow divorces.

• To quickly remove the traces of blood and not suffer from soapy formulations, you can take an approach using aspirin.

A tablespoon of powder is bred in two tablespoons of water. The resulting paste is spread over the surface of the stain and left for an hour. Then wash off with the rest of the blood with a soft cloth soaked in cold water.
• For cleaning the sofa, covered with upholstery from a very delicate fabric, you should use the approach with the use of borax and ammonia. Take two glasses of cold water, one dilute a teaspoon of ammonia, in the other - the same amount of borax. First, we treat the traces with a solution with ammonia, then with a brown. Wash off with a clean rag and dry it.

Hydrogen peroxide gives good results, but along with traces of blood, it can remove color from the surface of the product. The product is allowed to be used only as a last resort, having preliminary checked it on an inconspicuous site of an upholstery.

Removing contamination from the surface of a leather sofa is quite simple. Depending on the type of material, you can use the following tools:

• When working with artificial skin, take a tablespoon of ammonia, a few drops of dishwashing detergent and dilute them in a glass of cold water. The drug is applied to the spots, wait a few minutes, try to remove the traces, gently rubbing the formation with a toothbrush. We remove the remnants of the solution with a damp cloth.
• Delicatess and high-quality cleaning of natural leather will provide shaving foam. Shake the can and squeeze a little foam directly onto the stain. Gently wash the composition in the surface, wait 10 minutes and rinse the product with a damp cloth.
