How can you clean up luminol? Would a rust remover work?
Thank You for your response.

haven't a clue .
Didn't even know what Luminol was

so I gOOgled




donno if this helps or not;

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luminol

Luminol (C8H7N3O2) is a versatile chemical that exhibits chemiluminescence, with a striking blue glow, when mixed with an appropriate oxidizing agent. It is a white to slightly yellow crystalline solid that is soluble in most polar organic solvents, but insoluble in water.

maybe someone could tell us what "polar organic solvents" are .
I don't feel like gOOgling
and maybe they can be used to emulsify and rinse the stuff away??



..L.T.A.

Organic Polar Solvents are your typical POG and Volatile solvents we are used to in this industry. However, Surfactants can mimic both a polar and non-polar solvent inasmuch as the typical surfactant molecule is composed of a polar and a non-polar end, which act to create a micelle in enough concentration which creates a spherical structure than can essentially encapsulate non-polar soils (oils) within a polar liquid (water). In most situations we use this to suspend greasy soils, without using hydrocarbon solvents.

If indeed Luminol will dissolve in a polar solvent, then wiping down affected hard surfaces with a POG type cleaner just might remove enough to perform your task. On porous surfaces, treat like an oil spot, followed by a oxidizer type spot remover.
