Blood on Leather

So, anyone know how to get blood off leather? I cleaned most of it off, but there seems to be a light stain left. :o


Also, need a recommendation for a good leather CLEANER for tan leather (never had tan before and it shows stuff fast).

You may want to check in the mob hit forum.

I did a search and found this: http://www.wikihow.com/Remove-Ink-Stains-from-Leather

I don't know if the CSI team will still be able to spray it down and have it turn pink , though.

ha ha!

Blood is different than ink, so not so sure alcohol or other petroleum based products are going to cut blood like they would ink. BUT, that is good to know as far as ink stains are concerned.

I did find this on the net, and tried it, but I want to know if there is any more I can do, or if anyone here has any real world methods.

Remove Blood Stains From:
Leather, Suede

Mix a solution of mild soap in lukewarm water. Swish to create a great volume of suds. Apply only the foam with a sponge and gently rub the stained area, taking care not to spread the stain. Wipe dry with a clean soft cloth. On leather only, follow with Tannery Vintage Leather Cleaner & Conditioner or Fiebing's Saddle Soap to condition the leather.

anyone have O.J. Simpson's cell number?

maybe a diluted bleach water? Possibly find out what emergency rooms and amulances use?



Another thing! What's with asking us about blood with no story of how it got there attached!

Does anybody know how many roles of duct tape can be stored under the seat?

I don't want to buy too much.

Well, I'd say about 20 rolls... I'd recommend blue colored duct tape... it calms the victim a little bit.

I used to ride a gut truck, we used a bleach solution to clean and alcohol to disinfect, but the stuff in the trucks were vinyl as was the stretcher surface, not leather.

Story, for those that must know; My son climbed into my truck while I was cleaning it. Unbeknownst to me, he had cut his foot while outside playing; well he got blood all over the passenger seat. And I’m not talking just a little smear; it’s about a 14” long by 2” wide smear right across the top of the seat. Still have no idea how he cut his foot.

Wow! Nice rides... My friend just bought a '07 Frontier with the v6, 5 speed, and the 4x4 NISMO off-road package.

I've driven it quite a few times already.... but it's kind of small for my tastes. But hey, it's pretty peppy too and it sits up high.
