| This is probably too late but Vanish stain spray gets blood stains out brilliantly. No need for professional cleaning. One of my sons has had frequent nose bleeds from birth and I have never not been able to get the stains out with Vanish .. even out of the sofa arm rest one day. | |

i second this and if you only have the powder variety, don't waste time putting a scoop in the wash - it just doesn't work. Make up a paste with a load of the powder and a bit of water, cake it all over the stain and leave it to do its magic for an hour or so, then chuck everything in the wash with biological washing powder (not non-biological).
Comes out a treat.
EDIT: Oh, and get your elbow looked at - it sounds like a painful mess!
