you need an enzyme cleaner.
The hot water carpet extractor is also a good tool but unless you have one of those you could use a bucket of hot soapy water and a wet dry vac.
wear rubber gloves. Vacuum the area. Spray your enzyme cleaner on fabric and carpet. Let it sit for a few minutes. Scrub with a stiff brush with hot water and a mild general purpose cleaner mixed in. Something like simple Green would work well and it has a nice scent. Vacuum up with your wet dry vac and then use a fresh dry towel and towel up the upholstery and carpeting. On the hard surfaces like vinyl and plastic and glass etc. I think you could probably just use the general purpose cleaner and the rag with just a little bit of enzyme cleaner. The thing about cleaning blood is it has a tendency to look like it's gone and then it appears to come back a little while later depending upon how much is soaked into the fabric and foam etc. underneath. So sometimes multiple cleanings are required.
If you do this on a warm sunny day you can leave the vehicle outside with the doors open and a fan blowing at the area to dry it up nicely.
