You might want to try and get the seats steam cleaned to remove the blood... Oh and what happened?

saline will take out blood. It's what is in "fluid" IV's. Probably can be had over the counter in some form. Don't know if the contact lens solution is pure saline or not. Then vacuum it out with a shop vac/steam vac and then steam clean the whole thing. No biggie.

So what happened?

Uhhh....over the counter? Saline is just salt water that's sterile.

cool. Didn't know that. Just know it takes blood out of clothes/fabric.

contact solution used to be saline, but not any more ... but you can still get saline from a drug store for a few bucks

well im not sure you want pics... it starts with my car accident on the 3rd. after i got stitched up from the deep gash on my elbow, it formed into a hematoma. over the week i bashed my elbow (same elbow with the hematoma) into my bed. it swelled then it split open at the stitches. then that l bled everywhere then in my car.

so salt water and suck it up with a dry vack? is that the census?

someone probably had their period ALL OVER the seat.

hydrogen peroxide should do it...i know it can get it out of clothes.

won't the peroxide leave a stinky smell behind?

If so, use simply green to clean it off after vacuuming it up.

Hit it up with resolve upholstery cleaner and then use cold water.

I've has a white t-shirt completely soaked in blood before. Soaked it in cold water all night (under a rock in a cold river), and it came right out. Never would have known it was dripping with blood.

Just don't get it hot, that will set the stain.

Peroxide might bleach the fabric.
