You don't have to be a serial killer in the movies to get blood
stains on your car seats. There are some accidents you simply cannot foresee,
and when blood drips on the interiors of your car, specifically the seat cover,
you can only accept it and clean up. Here are some ways to do it.
Hydrogen Peroxide
Working on the same principle that makes your wounds foam up when
you add hydrogen peroxide, you can use this to get rid of that stubborn blood
stain. This works because the hydrogen peroxide reacts with the catalase in the
blood, producing water and oxygen while cleaning the stain at the same
time.
Baking Soda
From the kitchen to the bathroom and even to your car, there are
practically no limits to the uses of baking soda. In this case, use one part
baking soda and two parts cold water, apply it on the stain and let sit for 30
minutes, and then rinse using a damp cold cloth. Repeat as necessary.
Dish-washing Soap
Even simple dishwasher detergent can clean bloodstains, although
you might need to repeat this several times to clean completely. Use a
toothbrush to apply the detergent mixed with water to the stain, brushing the
upholstery softly to avoid setting the blood even deeper.
Ideally, if you’re the neat type of person, you never need to
clean stains off your car
seat covers; but if you have children or teenagers, seat stains are
part of the package.
