Depending on your type of carpet, a wet/dry vacuum is a great final step to removing blood stains, but it will only help after you’ve used another method to pull out the bulk of the stain. A good option is to use a wet cleaning method, then apply baking soda to the stain, and then follow that by vacuuming thoroughly. Remember that this vacuum type does not work on all carpet types. Wool can shrink with this method, so always check the cleaning instructions from your carpet’s manufacturer.

The cleaning time varies depending on the items' number, condition, and material. On average, expect a couple of hours for a roomful of furniture. Drying times also vary, often completed within a day.

You should not use bleach to clean a mattress. Bleach is too harsh for most mattress fibers and can cause damage to mattress foam. In addition, bleach cannot be adequately rinsed out of a mattress, causing the smell to linger for a long time. Choose gentler cleaners like baking soda, dish soap, or enzyme cleaners.

The time it takes your couch to dry after cleaning will depend on several factors, such as fabric type, cleaning method, room temperature, and humidity. Dry time can be as little as one hour or as long as 24 hours. You can shorten drying time by using a fan, opening a window, or using a dehumidifier. Just make sure not to sit on your couch until it’s completely dry, otherwise it may become moldy or leave an odor.
