perexide is also a life saver in getting blood out of ANYTHING,, BEFORE washing. learned the hard way making nursery sets years ago at a shop. I don`t know how it would work on a crime scene:):)

Thanks for the ideas to get the marks out. I had one & ended up recutting the fabric. Now I know how to fix it.

Well, I had a lab that drank a great deal of blood that he generously shared with the rest of us, in the middle of my diningroom's blue/white berber carpet...peroxide got ALL of it out, but it took several applications of just pouring it on the carpet and soaking it up. It did not change the color of the carpet at all.

Lucky for me it was white fabric with teeny tiny buds all over. I'm just glad I got the scorched spots out. And, I have turned down the heat of the iron a bit. Thanks everyone for your help. It's nice to know someone has your back :lol: For sure my son would not know what to do!!!!!!

Carpet is factory treayed with something similar to scothgaurd in the 70`s,, at least that was what I was told when I inquired about your situation,, Tjhanks for telling me,,, gues I ought not try it on a crime scene :):)

TREATED,, I stink at typing :(

Great tip.

I learned about using peroxide from my Aunt. She was born at the turn of the last century, and claimed she could scorch all kinds of fabric, whether she wanted to or not

Will the peroxide work on any color?
