Re: removing blood

Have found Hydrogen Peroxide able to remove most blood stains, even in clothes....havent used yet in vehicle applications.

Hazmat materials needed for blood cleanup, even if your own....hope he got it cleaned.

Re: removing blood

General tips:
Best to clean up blood stains as soon as possible.
Do not use hot or warm water in the process, cold water…even ice water is best.
Before cleaning, blot (not rub!) with a dry towel to soak up as much as possible before cleaning.

For fresh blood stains (test a small spot first on dark colors):
1. mix a 50/50 of cold water and Hydrogen Peroxide (3% solution)
2. Apply with squirt bottle or pour on the fabric
3. allow to bubble up for 1 minute
4. blot the surface with clean dry microfiber towel
5. repeat with stronger ratio if needed

For set blood stains (tried another chemical that didn’t work or the stain has been there a long time)
1. Spray cold water on the stain
2. Rub table salt into the fibers until you make a paste consistency
3. Allow to dry for 2 minutes
4. rinse and extract with a machine or shop vac

Hydrogen Peroxide has worked for me 80% of the time on blood stains. Salt has worked for me once. And I have had one time the stain could not be removed.

With all this knowledge, I have to ask: Before you learned all this did you find yourself replacing many trunk carpets/liners?

...sorry no pics it was pretty nasty didnt want everyone blowing chunks lol

THAT we know how to clean

Re: removing blood

Though it's always a good idea to be safe, those contagious diseases mentioned, Hep A, B, C can only be transmitted bloodstream to bloodstream. I used to be an AIDS counselor, so have firsthand knowledge (just in case anybody gets freaked out about cleaning blood in the future)

Re: removing blood

The Quick Out is amazing stuff! I cannot find it locally anymore and Big Lots here doesn't have it.

Oxi Clean works wonders also!
