(Use bleach and any detergent to clean). lmao ive read all of these answers and it made me giggle even though it shouldn't have. the reason most of these spots have popped up in the bathroom walls...is because whomever the IV drug user in the house is, used to "shoot up" (slang term for "administer to one's self") only in the bathroom, but has now gotten comfortable enough to do so in other parts of the house. its really disgusting, but the spatter of red dots are the discarded portion of an "issue" (ones portion of the illicit drug) ....'pokers' (as i like to call them) dispense the blood/drug mixture out of the syringe when blood has contaminated the drug so as not to administer the blood (especially that of another person, if, unfortunately, sharing needles).......dontaskhowiknow

Based on the available information, it seems that the red spots on the bathroom walls are due to drug use, and they can be quite unsanitary and unsightly. It's important to clean them as soon as possible to prevent further contamination and potential health hazards. Here are some steps you can take to remove these red spots:
- First, put on a pair of gloves and a mask to protect yourself from any potential blood-borne pathogens.
- Mix a solution of bleach and detergent in a spray bottle or bucket. Use a 1:1 ratio of bleach and detergent.
- Spray or apply the solution to the affected areas and let it sit for about 10-15 minutes.
- Scrub the area with a brush or sponge, and rinse with clean water.
- Repeat steps 3 and 4 until the red spots are completely removed.
- Once the area is clean, disinfect it with a separate solution of bleach and water. Use a 1:10 ratio of bleach and water.
- Dispose of any contaminated materials, such as gloves or rags, in a sealed plastic bag. If you choose to clean the red spots yourself, you will need the following tools and materials:
- Gloves
- Mask
- Bleach
- Detergent
- Spray bottle or bucket
- Brush or sponge
- Clean water
- Sealed plastic bag
While cleaning the red spots yourself can be a cost-effective option, it's important to weigh the pros and cons of doing it yourself versus hiring a professional. If the red spots are extensive or difficult to remove, it may be best to hire a professional cleaning service to ensure the job is done properly and safely.
