Blood contains a lot of protein, so it is especially difficult to remove. To treat blood stains on the mattress, you need to absorb as much or as much blood, and then clean the blood-stained area. Another important step is to let the mattress dry completely because wet mattresses are a quick breeding ground for mold.
Steps
Absorb blood

Dismantle the bed. You need to reach directly to the mattress if you want to remove any stains from the mattress. Move pillows, duvets, duvets, sheets, and everything on the mattress out of bed. [1] X Research Source Keep pillows and decorations aside so they don’t get in the way during mattress stain removal.
- Blood-stained bed sheets, pillowcases, comforters, and linens should be treated first with a cleaning solution or enzyme cleaner. Soak the item in the solution for about 15 minutes, then wash it in the washing machine.

Wipe the stain with a wet cloth. Dip a wet washcloth in cold water. Squeeze out the water so that the towel is cold and damp enough. Dab the cloth over the blood stain until the soiled area is wet enough. Do not rub as you may cause the stain to penetrate deeper into the mattress fabric. [2] X Research Source
- Only use cold water as hot water can build up dirt, making it even more difficult to remove.

Blot with a dry towel. After the blood stain is wet, you can use a clean, dry towel to blot the blood stain. Continue blotting until the stain is dry and there is no more blood on the towel. [3] X Research Source Do not use a towel to prevent stains from penetrating deeper into the mattress.

Continue to wet and silently dry. Wash the towel in cold water, wring it out and wet the blood stain again, then blot with a clean, dry towel until the area is completely dry.
- You should wet and dry continuously until the dry towel is no longer stained with blood. [4] X Research Sources

Make a blood stain cleaning solution. There are several mattress cleaning solutions that you can try. Commercially available oxygen bleach or enzymatic cleaners are the most effective solutions to treat blood stains because they can break down proteins in organic substances such as blood. [5] X Research Source Alternatively, you can also try other cleaning solutions such as:
- Mix ½ cup (120 ml) of laundry detergent with 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of water, stirring until the mixture is foamy. [6] X Research Sources
- Mix baking soda with cold water in the ratio 1:2. [7] X Research Sources
- Mix ½ cup (60 g) cornstarch with 1 tablespoon (20 g) salt and ¼ cup (60 ml) hydrogen peroxide to make a paste.
- Mix 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of ammonia with 1 cup (250 ml) of cold water.
- Mix 1 tablespoon (15 g) of meat tenderizer with 2 teaspoons (10 ml) of cold water to form a paste.

Wet blood stains with cleaning solution. For liquid detergent, you can dip a clean cloth in the solution, then wring it out. Use a towel to wet the blood stain. For the mixed form, you can use a knife or finger to take just enough to cover the blood stain. [8] X Research Sources
- Foam mattress should not be too wet, so you should only use enough detergent to wet the stain. [9] X Research Source
- Do not spray liquid directly onto the mattress. Mattresses absorb water very quickly, and if not dried properly, detergents can degrade the mattress or cause mold.

Let the solution soak into the blood stain for 30 minutes. This gives the solution time to penetrate the stain and break down the protein, so the blood stain will be removed more easily. [10] X Research Source
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/e/ef/Remove-Blood-Stains-from-a-Mattress-Step-12-Version-2.jpg/v4-460px- Remove-Blood-Stains-from-a-Mattress-Step-12-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/e/ef/Remove-Blood- Stains-from-a-Mattress-Step-12-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Remove-Blood-Stains-from-a-Mattress-Step-12-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460 ,”smallHeight”:306,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:485,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Rub the blood stain to loosen the dirt particles. After 30 minutes, you can use a toothbrush to scrub the stain and create conditions for the detergent to work. You can also use a clean cloth to wet the stain again. After scrubbing or blotting, the stain may begin to disintegrate and disappear. [11] X Research Source

Absorb any remaining blood and detergent. Dip a clean towel in cold water. Squeeze out excess water and dab a towel over the area you just treated to remove any remaining water and blood on the mattress.
- Continue infiltration until all traces of the mixture, cleaning solution and blood are completely removed. [12] X Research Source

Pat the treated area dry with a clean towel. Use a clean, dry towel to absorb the last time to remove all the water on the mattress. Spread the towel over the treated area, pressing down with two hands to create pressure to absorb moisture out of the mattress.
Protect mattress

Air-dry the mattress. Once the stain is gone, leave the mattress out in the air for a few hours, or preferably overnight. This will completely remove any remaining water inside the mattress and prevent mold growth. To speed up the drying process, you can:
- Place the fan in front of the mattress and turn the fan on to full power. [13] X Research Source
- Open the curtains to let the sun dry the mattress.
- Open a window to let more air into the room.
- Move the mattress outside to dry in the sun and fresh air for a few hours.
- Use a wet/dry vacuum to suck up any remaining water inside the mattress. [14] X Research Source

Vacuum the bed. When the mattress is completely dry, you should vacuum the entire surface of the mattress to remove dust and other dirt particles. Regular cleaning will help keep the mattress as clean as new. Use a vacuum cleaner with a flat nozzle to remove dust from the top, bottom, edges, and seams of the mattress.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/7/72/Build-Your-Own-Mattress-Step-4.jpg/v4-460px-Build-Your-Own-Mattress- Step-4.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/7/72/Build-Your-Own-Mattress-Step-4.jpg/v4-728px-Build- Your-Own-Mattress-Step-4.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Cover the mattress. Waterproof mattress covers can prevent water stains, stains, and other mattress contamination problems. For example, when you spill something on the mattress, the mattress cover can prevent wetness and prevent water from seeping into the mattress. [15] X Research Source
- Upholstery is very easy to wash. If you experience spillage, you can wash the mattress cover according to the instructions on the product packaging. Some mattress covers are machine washable, while others should only be wiped with a wet cloth.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/f/fa/Make-Your-Bed-Step-9-Version-2.jpg/v4-460px-Make-Your-Bed- Step-9-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/f/fa/Make-Your-Bed-Step-9-Version-2.jpg/ v4-728px-Make-Your-Bed-Step-9-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Recover the bed. Once the mattress is dry, clean and protected, you can use a clean sheet to help fix the mattress, followed by commonly used sheets, sheets, and pillows. Sheets also help prevent sweat, dirt, and debris from sticking to the mattress as you sleep.
Warning
- When handling blood that isn’t yours, you should wear gloves to protect yourself from blood-borne diseases.
