Blood on wood floor

[Suzie-Q]

I have a wood floor that is quite worn, so most of the finish is gone.
Two of my dogs had a serious fight while I was at work, and the floor
was covered with blood. I mopped it up with hot water and "Clorox Clean
Up," which contains bleach. Most of the blood came up but now I see that
I have many small (1"-3") spots all over the floor where the blood was.
Does anyone have any suggestions how to get those spots up?

Thanks in advance.

BTW, the injured dog will be fine. Thank God.

To clean blood use a non-alkaline detergent in cold water. Hot water
may set a blood stain. Do not use bleach for a blood stain. I'd
suggest household ammonia, but not for bare wood as this may produce a
dark stain.

Hi All

Wood is cellulose and cellulose likes alkaline conditions, so the ammonia is
probably safe. Test an unseen area first and add some hydrogen peroxide to
the ammonia as it will help in it's removal.

We have a step-by-step guide getting blood from a T-Shirt on
www.DrClean.co.uk/Surgery_Stains/stains_bloodstain1.asp which is also
cellulosic.

Hope this helps
