Help getting blood out of leather

I have a "friend" who has a "friend" that is a member of the MAFIA. I'll ask him to find out how they get blood out of their leather seats.

First, before anything else, moisten the area with cool (not hot or even warm) water. Then blot with paper towels to absorb as much of the blood as possible. Then try a dilute solution of Dawn dish soap. Let it stand for a few minutes. Gently scrub with a soft toothbrush. Blot and repeat until it's gone.

Check out a company called Torque Detail.
They have some really good products.
They have a cleaner that is leather specific.
Can’t hurt to check them out.

This question makes me very suspicious. Having watched "Snapped", "First 48 Hours", "Forensic Files", Lt Kenda and so forth, the wrong type of person could be fishing for information as to how to alter a crime scene.
Yeah, the crime of a groomer cutting a small dogs claw to close, resulting in little streaks of blood all over my two toned dark and light grey, very expensive optional leather front seats in my SUV. So, you're saying that, from your experience, from watching TV, that a UHH member of over 6 years, with over 9000 postings, is pretending to be the victim of a puppy claw cutting, that should have been a grinding, in order to fish for suggestions on how clean the dog blood stains off expensive light colored leather seats. Maybe I should be writing for one of the TV shows you're apparently so incredibly fond of.

Thanks for the tip. I will check them out.

Having also dealt with blood for decades, the two things that are very effective on clothing are peroxide or cold water and Dial soap. Try one or both on an inconspicuous spot on the back or bottom of the seat. I suspect that the blood is far more superficial than the leather curing and dying - just use it briefly and rinse of with a damp rag.
My wife says pretty much the same. Thanks for responding; I'm going to give the peroxide and soap a try.

Probably not. The poster is from south central PA. Now if they were more southeastern, like around Philly, your suspicions would be more warranted!
My home is in Southeast Pennsylvania, about 30 miles from Philadelphia in Chester County. I also have a home away from home in Lancaster County, about 25 miles west of Reading, and, I met my wife in Nazareth, PA.

The wife suggested trying dish soap mixed with peroxide.

I'm guessing TV is a big part of their life.

Depending on how much the car is worth to you, perhaps it should be taken to a leather professional (shoe repair shop?) and let them either do the fix or tell you exactly what might work...
I do know of a shop that specializes in leather. The vehicle is only a few years old and in like new condition, well, except for the red streaks on the leather seats, and they're not too bad.

I'll give it a try. Thank you for your input.

You might try what car dealers use to clean upholstery in a car they take in on a trade...but test it on a tiny place out of sight first...BARBASOL. I use it on my couch or chairs if kids spill anything or any kind of stain lands there. It has always worked for me and never discolored anything but it pays to be careful.

It's amazing how many people don't actually understand the meaning of "General Chit Chat, non-photography talk".
