How do you get blood off a hardwood floor?
Question:My daughter cut her foot and we rushed her to the ER and there is dried blood all over the wood laminate flooring
Answers:
I found this online. Looks good but make sure you test a spot in the corner first.
Dried Blood:
One reader reported that in nursing school they tell students to use peroxide on the blood before washing. She reported it really works. I'd test a small section as it could also have a bleaching effect, but worth a try.
or
1. Mix one teaspoon of a mild ph balanced detergent (a mild non alkaline non bleaching detergent) with a cup of ice cold water
2. Blot
3. Mix one tablespoon of household ammonia with a half cup of ice cold water
4. Blot
5. Sponge with clean ice cold water
6. Blot
Note: Always test an inconspicuous area for colorfastness, etc. before treating the exposed area. Also note that certain stains are permanent
You can use 10% saline solution (water + NaCl)
really warm water with dish soap and a rag. Put some soapy water on the spot, let it set a minute, then wipe up. Scrubb as needed. Hard wood flooring is fairly easy to clean. Keep the water really warm, almost to hot to handle, when doing this. Change the water as needed.
