I was transporting a lot of meat 2 days ago and had the meat in heavy duty trash bags. One of the bones must have pierced the bag and blood spilled everywhere! I had the all weather liner in there, so I was able to clean the blood from there, but now my worry is that the blood went beneath the fabric. I tried cleaning all that I was able to find, I used vinegar, baking soda, etc, and the next morning the smell was just as strong. Please tell me what to do.

keep cleaning

you can try putting some fish charcoal to help get rid of the smell, but I think you're missing spots or it penetrated the carpet...
just keep cleaning

step up to clothing detergent if you have too

If there is any remaining stain, Oxy-Clean (or similar oxygen based cleaner) is the best thing for removing blood stains, and other organic stains.

If it is just the odor that is bothering you, it is probably from the fats that are in meat. In this case a good dish soap may break down the grease then use a shop vac to suck up the soapy mixture, or a coin operated vacuum at the local car wash.

Thank you I will try the Oxy Clean

you could just sprinkle the baking soda on the carpet and leave it overnight... if the car is parked in a garage, leave the windows open... otherwise just throw the stuff down and let it sit... then the next day, vacuum it up...

Y'all on the watch list now

I use peroxide frequently to clean up blood spills, splashes, etc (Work in a hospital) Use a little, and see if it foams up. The best way to break it down, and get rid of smells is to let it sit awhile by soaking a towel, and leaving that soaking wet towel on that spot.

Obviously you have to be careful to not flood the area, but you do need to wet it.

interesting! thanks for the tip!

Great minds think alike. In an earlier post I recommended using OxyClean. In layman's terms, OxyCLean is a dried form of Hydrogen Peroxide (water with an extra oxygen atom or H2O2). When mixed with water, Oxyclean produces H2O2. This site suggests that a saturated solution of OxyClean ( by dissolving as much of it as possible in water) , will have the same strength of H2O2 that is available in stores for public use.

Mr Hyde

Yup, the peroxide is exactly how Oxyclean works. He would definitely need a followup with multiple passes with an extractor to get rid of the detergents. If not, any soap residue left left behind will just cause the area to become sticky allowing dirt to stick.

If he can get away with just peroxide, it works really well for this.
