When to consider professional help
Professional help may be appropriate when blood contamination is extensive, follows a traumatic event, reaches porous or concealed materials, or is otherwise difficult to contain safely.
Avoid spreading the affected material
Keep unnecessary traffic through the area to a minimum. Avoid household equipment or cleaning methods that could transfer contamination to other rooms or surfaces.
Call with a simple description
Tell us what type of surface is affected, roughly how large the area is, and whether the blood is confined to one location. We can discuss the most sensible next step.
