Q. Does the Biohazard Response Spill Kit remove a stain of blood from carpet that is a couple of
days old or will it only work on fresh spills? Will it still disinfect the area?

blood up to 7-10 days, you certainly wouldn't want anyone to touch it. It may be necessary to use
a spot remover in conjunction with the clean-up kit.
