How to clean blood in Project Zomboid

Cleaning blood is a simple process that requires water, cleaning tools, and bleach. If you can’t find bleach, water will also do the trick, but it’ll take longer to finish the cleaning session.

Here are the steps on cleaning blood in Project Zomboid:

  • Find a nearby water source.
  • Find bleach, soap, and some cleaning tools.
  • Right-click the water source and choose to clean one or multiple bloodied clothes.
  • If you’re cleaning floors and walls, right-click on the spot and choose ‘clean blood.’

During rainy days, you don’t have to worry about blood stains outside, especially those ones in car hoods and roofs. The rain will naturally wash away blood and dirt, but it will also mask the sounds of approaching zombies. So, be very careful during rainy days.
