Blood spots in fur #6704654 12/24/19 03:55 PM 12/24/19 03:55 PM

I wash all my fur vigorously in a bucket and drip dry before stretching, but every once in a while I miss a spot of blood. I just comb it out as best I can but sometimes you can still tell the fur is slightly discolored still. I have heard good and bad about borax, (not sure on how to apply, as dry powder or mix with water and pray it on) and I think Beav mentioned somewhere about a stain remover. Just looking for some input! TIA

Using this borax treatment method works extremely well as can be seen in the following before and after pictures. As well as removing blood stains the borax also cleans and brightens the fur. The only constant in trapping is change so keep learning.

Anyone ever use either one of these methods on Bobcats to brighten the belly's? STOP GLOBAL WHINING!
