Whether it's from a pet, wild animal, or even a spilled human blood sample, it's important to act fast and get rid of the blood stain before it sets in and becomes more difficult to remove.
Steps For Removing Blood Stains From Lawn
- Mix 1 teaspoon of laundry detergent into 1 cup of warm water.

- Allow solution to sit for about 5 minutes.
- Once the stain has been lifted, scrub the stained area with a heavy-duty brush to remove any remaining residue.
- Rinse the area with a garden hose or bucket of water.
- Repeat Steps 1-5 until the stain has been completely removed.
Additional Tips For Removing Blood Stains From Lawn
- If the stain is particularly stubborn, try using a mixture of equal parts laundry detergent and white vinegar.
- If the stain is still not responding to the cleaning solution, try using some hydrogen peroxide instead.
- For dried blood stains, you may need to do an additional scrubbing with a wire brush to get rid of any remaining residue.
- Once the stain has been removed, be sure to add some new grass seed or fertilizer to help fill in the spot where the stain was.
