for stains and it has worked for anything biological. No chipping. But if it doesn't work, I will try adding baking soda.

I even had a neighbor who had a horrible nose bleed and had a huge blood stain on her carpet. She had tried washing it out and it didn't work. We poured hydrogen peroxide on it, let it bubble, toweled it up, and repeated. It cleaned everything up. In fact, for blood stains, this is all I ever use.
