I've heard both hydrogen peroxide or club soda work. If hydrogen peroxide definitely blot and do not soak the area.
Patti, I hope you don't mind the humor here regarding your serious question! It is meant in heartfelt fun.

Have you removed the body yet?

Hydrogen peroxide works wonders, but only blot it on working in small areas. You can let it dry and then re-blot later to remove more. I used cotton balls to blot. This will protect your upholstery color!

Hydrogen peroxide does the job!

I've read blotting it repeatedly with club soda.

How do I get blood stains out of car upholstery? The fabric is stretchy polyester and nothing has worked. I have tried bleach, Resolve stain remover, scrubbing, hot water, cold water, Oxy stain remover, etc.

Hydrogen peroxide works (usually) to remove bloodstains. Also, cold water never hot. A fresh stain is more likely to come out, not an older one. (04/29/2010)
