I spilled coffee and got blood on my white/beige carpet… They aren’t fresh so they’ve set in for a while.. What would be the best product to use to get them out as much as possible?

    For the blood stain… Keep blotting with hydrogen peroxide.

    For most other carpet stains I mix 1/4 cup oxiclean powder in a glass of hot water till dissolved. Then I pour it on the carpet stain and press (by stepping on) a white towel on top. Then let it set an hour to overnight. When you lift the towel the stain is gone. If not do the process again. Though I have never had to repeat.
    Or you could buy the Oxi clean laundry stain remover spray and use that the same way. Spray the stain WET with the spray and press a white towel on top, then let set there for hours to overnight.

    Try some very ice cold water and a couple of drops of liquid laundry soap and see if it will remove the blood – but for the coffee – since it is a set in stain, I am not sure it can be removed.
    but using lots of water keep rubbing the stains and with clean old towels try absorbing the moisture from the carpet.
    Good luck

    Try hydrogen peroxide, especially for the blood. for the coffee, you may have to blot at the stain with a rag and a mix of 1 part bleach to three parts water and put a squirt of detergent in to help break up the stain.

    here are two procedures, both using commonly found household items:

    go straightaway to Home Depot and ask for this product. It’s called “Folex” and it works!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It cost’s about $4.00 per spray bottle and it also comes in bulk!!!! My sister got red wine on her white carpet and Folex made it come right out!!!!
    Please give it a try!!! You won’t be sorry!
    it works on clothing and upholstery as well!
