I'm guessing here, but blood would be mainly fat and protein?
So anything that would, for instance, remove egg stains would
be useful.

For removing egg stains from carpet:

Carpets and Furnishings
Remove as much of the egg as possible, then sponge
with washing up liquid in lukewarm water. Use a
cleaning solvent if stain remains stubborn. Where
necessary shampoo.

For removing blood stains:

Blood Stains in Clothing
Blood stains in clothing need to be removed as soon as possible.
Use cold water and wash out the stain. Hot water will set the
blood and it will be difficult or impossible to get out.
The following is a suggestion sent via e-mail from "R". Thank
you for your addition to this page! "Hydrogen peroxide is the
absolute best for removing blood stains. The fresher the easier
of course, but even dried blood comes out with a little effort.
The hydrogen peroxide seems to do no damage to any fabric
I've tried it on."
Another suggestion from Wanda is to use Adolph's
unseasoned meat tenderizer. Rinse in cold water,
then sprinkle on the tenderizer and let sit for awhile
and rinse again. May have to be repeated.
