If this is the wrong place, please move to correct section of the forum.





I had a possible client that reached out to me and inquired about the possibility of removing deer blood from interior panels.


I asked for a couple pictures, but it's pouring out today. Also asked if it's on carpet/plastic/vinyl/leather. As there may be different ways to go bout each.



I do not have a steamer or extractor.
I will buy products that are needed to complete this job, so that I can advertise such jobs.



Now on a less serious level, when asked about this it was quite hard not to reply with "well I haven't been asked to clean up and chrome scenes yet, but I'm willing to try yours"

thank you in advance for any and all help

If I were you...(and if at all possible)
I'd wait until I saw the crime scene in
person, before committing to a clean-up.

Your Thread title sounds eerily like
the beginning of a lovely sentiment
for a Crips' "Hallmark-moment".

I agree with Bob- I'd get pics of the crime scene.

Deer blood on interior panels? W.T.F :eek:
 
Her husband hunts, and got some blood on rear panels. Carpet is perfectly fine because a tarp was laid down.


I have no problem committing to the detail, as I made it clear I'm not sure if it'll come out, and not sure what the clean up will entail. (they want a detail anyway)

So I'm just trying to prepare myself for tips and tricks for deer blood.
 
I would imagine deer blood would be protein just like other blood is. So Meguiar's makes a stain removal pair you may want to consider. Its part of the Detailer Line
 
I would try some apc and go from there. Allso the sooner you can get to it the better.If its not a delicate area id use a brush and batch of apc mixed with some hot water. Good luck
 
No thanks,if someone called me to remove any kind of bodily substances number one it definitely raises the risk of contracting a illness or disease no amount of money or latex gloves will ever make a decision monetary wise to do it.
 
I've clean a car with blood on all over a door panel (all hard plastic though) and I've been contacted to clean up an interior that someone committed suicide in.

I didn't take the suicide one. They wouldn't tell me what exactly needed to be done in regards to the suicide but that there was a mess resulting from the suicide....
 
It's only a couple weeks old. But with blood I think once it's dried it's done it's damage.

This is on hard plastic, care to share your plan of action?

I would've passed on the suicide also.

GSKR, I'm with you on this one... But should a job like this come along, I just make "Interior Gal" clean it up, (who is IICRC certified in these kinds of "cleanings")... better her than me... LOL. I'm Exterior Guy. (I'm glad she's not on this fourum...)

I used dish cleaning gloves, something that comes up higher for my hands. I also used a medical mask and bought some cheap sunglasses at CVS to keep any possible splatter away.

Then I used Optimum Power Clean and a Boar's Hair Brush and microfiber towels. I threw away everything and increased my price to cover for them. I told the customer ahead of time that I would only do it this way because I cannot in good faith use the towels and brush and even my spray bottle knowing they've come in contact with blood.

The customer said she understood and had no issues whatsoever.

There was nothing on fabric to extract, but if there was I would have looked up the best way to sanitize my extractor and decide whether or not to do it. I would have also contacted my local carpet cleaning companies to see if they had any suggestions on what to do with the extractor.

I took pictures, but actually ended up not posting them online because I figured having something as grotesque as that is not good to put online representing my business. I have mentioned it to customers, but I did not find it to be something I wanted to put on my website. That is simply my opinion though and I'm sure others wouldn't have had an issue.
 
I had my share with a rotten sirloin steak in glovebox I will never forget that day,they ended up buying a new glove box.

I've removed dried human blood from clothes using this before. Never tried it on car fabrics though.

If you do get this job, I would recommend using Folex if blood is on carpet or fabric. Folex will remove blood, ink, and other set in stains that most fabric cleaners will not.

Indeed, I cleaned the interior and polished a hearse and got really sick after that. Although I used gloves and mask, I had to use a tornador and probably inhaled some nasty substances. Never again.
