Title: Problem is blood on seat!
Post by: Hugh R on June 24, 2022, 09:56:34 AM

Any idea how to get rid of blood on seats (Mk. 4 Jazz)? 
Partner had bad head wound and on way to hospital seats suffered too.
Someone suggested 'Vanish' but that seems to be better for washing clothes - though I wonder.

Try this.

Remove Blood From Upholstery:
Dampen a cloth with cold water and gently blot the bloodstain. Don’t scrub,.  Scrubbing will push the blood further into the upholstery.
Soak a white cloth with club soda, and gently blot the stain.
Repeat step 2 as the stain lightens. You can stop blotting with the cloth when it stops pulling blood from the affected surface.
Is the stain still there?  Mix 80% water, 10% glycerin, and 10% laundry detergent until well blended then pour the mixture into a spray bottle
Spray a couple of times directly onto the bloodstain, but do not oversoak.  Blot with a white sponge or cloth
Blot with cold water and pat dry with a towel.

Don't use hot water. It will set the stain.

I would do Jocko’s method until it’s as faint as possible, this should get most of the blood out. Then I would use one of the carpet cleaner spray on foams. These are amazing at getting stains out of fabric. Just follow the instructions on the can.
