Oh sweet jesus, my war dog killed a goblin thief, and now my dwarves are tracking it everywhere, armok would be pleased. Is there any kind of way to clean the blood off?

[USEC_OFFICER]

A water source and soap.

[Smurfdor]

Of the floor like? Cause that sounds like it would clean a dwarf

[Akura]

I'm not sure if it will work, but I have certainly seen a doctor clean blood off the hospital floor and possibly the wall. Then again, this was the patients own blood, that had apparently spilled onto the floor/wall(?) during surgery(presumably, it was the "blood covering", if it matters).

[Smurfdor]

hmm, thanks

I once saw a dwarf spill water on a pool of blood in an attempt to clean it. It only ended up spreading all over the room after the horde of wardogs trudged all over it.

There is a utility for cleaning blood. I forgot what its called.

[Ahp77]

I've seen dorfs clean up blood when they have no other job, if said blood is underground.

DFHack.  Just grab that over at the modding forum and run dfcleanmap.

Yeah from what I have learned above ground blood will not be cleaned by dwarfs and below ground will be cleaned by those with the cleaning job enabled...although its such a low priority for them that to happen they have to have no other jobs going on and even then its iffy...try getting a dwarf or so with just cleaning enabled and see what happens (I don't like using "cheats" like dfhack myself so I try and do that)....ive never had an issue with it all to much because most blood is outside for me...and the rain cleans that...you could also flood the affected areas somehow to clean the blood

I like my hallways bloody and full of goblin corpses, it adds a grim atmosphere and scares away intruders. I even considered setting up a garbage dump zone at my entrance and have the corpses dropped over there. But it reminds one of some sick nazi images, ones with corpses all piled and up left to rot.

Flooding the area with magma removes blood, dust, vomit, goo, mud, and dwarves.

It's completely out of hand. I dammed the waterfall on my map and while they were working on it, all the blood that was on my dwarves got a washing, leaving the pools of blood at the top of the waterfall. I thought, 'great, now to turn on the water and wash the blood down'. No such luck. There are many pools of blood dancing around the edge of the waterfall, none of which are being washed away. It also gets on the walls, making the whole wall section red. Would not be so bad if it were all red, but spotty looks bad.

Indeed, I did pave my road with chalk just to see the blood splatter there, but not in the waterfall! I hope Toady addresses this one...

Blood multiplies around water, so...

I had the problem that the rain wasn't making it go away; there must have been some, somewhere, that was being tracked around the fort and it didn't do much other than make things look awful.  That and the FB extract that caused dwarves to vomit all over the place.
