It is possible to remove blood from a {{L|soil}} floor by building a {{L|dirt road}} on it. Allocating bloody {{L|tile attributes|indoor}} underground areas as a {{L|activity zone#Meeting Area|meeting area}} seems to increase their {{L|cleaning}} priority and they will get cleaned pretty quickly if you have enough idle workers. However, this does not seem to work for above ground areas and have in fact the opposite effects. It is better to forbid an area with blood in above areas as rain will randomly clear tiles where it touches it. |

That is why blood areas tends to grow quickly on ''above ground'' when heavy traffic is there. In {{version|0.31.16}} an init-setting has been added to stop the spreading of blood. |

This can be dealt with by covering the offending brook tiles with walls or floors. | Brooks and similar sources of water appear to replicate any blood that falls on their tiles, resulting in an endlessly growing carpet of blood.
