Couches are made of many different materials, and while some can be cleaned safely with water, others require special cleaning solutions. Have a look at the upholstery tag on your couch to look for the letter code W, S, SW, or X:  W, S, and SW mean you can clean the couch with water- or solvent-based cleaners. X means you can't clean the couch with water or solvents, so you'll have to take it to a professional to clean the blood. Before using any cleaner on your couch, you should always perform a spot test to ensure the cleaner won’t bleach the fabric, make the color bleed, or otherwise damage the material. Perform the spot test by applying cleaner to an inconspicuous area and letting it sit for 24 hours. Cleaners you may need to spot test for your couch are:  Rubbing alcohol Hydrogen peroxide Soap and water solution Upholstery cleaner Use a soft-bristled toothbrush to gently scrub the area and loosen any dried blood that may still be on the surface of the material. This will make the stain easier to clean. After brushing, wipe the area with a dry cloth to remove flakes of dried blood. Dampen a clean cloth with cold water or rubbing alcohol. Wring out the cloth to remove excess liquid. Dab the stain with the damp white cloth to saturate the area with liquid.  Use only cold water to blot the area, as hot water can set the stain. It’s important to use white cloths to clean the couch, otherwise dye from the cloths may transfer to the couch. Water is safe to use for couches marked with W and SW letter codes. Alcohol is safe to use on couches marked with S and SW codes. Use a fresh cloth to blot the area and remove excess blood and liquid from the couch. Be sure to blot rather than rub, as rubbing can push the stain deeper into the couch and make it harder to clean. Keep dabbing until the cloth comes away dry.
summary: Check the care label. Spot test your cleaners. Brush away excess blood. Blot the area with water or isopropyl alcohol. Dab the area dry.
