How do i get my dwarfs clean the best way?. I tried the suggested method of making a channel filled with 3/7 water. But it always results in a pool of blood in the channel through which the dwarfs walk again just building up a blood puddle consisting of every goblin dwarfs and creatures blood who ever died, which they then get on their shoes 

[Jacob/Lee]

I think if you build a waterfall the mist from it will clean dwarves as they walk by, dropping a puddle of blood on the floor.

[shlorf]

so will a mist generator work too?

[Jacob/Lee]

It should, provided you don't flood your fortress building it.

[shlorf]

great, the mist generator is ready to be turned on and the water in it already contains 100 instances of goblin blood troll blood and vomit 

[Rowanas]

An easier method than the mist generator is simply to channel out a 3x3 area at the entrance to your fort and fill it to 3/7 with water. This will clean off dwarves as they scurry hither and thither.

[shlorf]

yea but it'll leave the blood in the water and the dwarfs will get dirty again right away.

[Wiro]

yea but it'll leave the blood in the water and the dwarfs will get dirty again right away.

Which is why you use dfhack to clean the blood up.

[shlorf]

So there's no hack free way of cleaning stuff? Kinda makes me feel sorry for my soldiers already as there's a fb with poisonous vapors in the first two caves.

[HermitDwarf]

I thought substances in water don't spread to your dwarves anymore.

[Larry421]

They shouldn't.
And if you build your cleaning trench underground they will clean all the washed-off muck from out of it.

[HermitDwarf]

Problem solved shlorf. Build a cleaning trench.

[PainRack]

You're supposed to be able to drain things off. The last time I tried it, I dumped the water into an aquifier, but it should be possible to do something else such as dumping it into the river or something.

I simply channeled out my entrance to my dining hall and designated it a pond till it was full 2/7. Seems to have cleaned everyone's shoes and all the animals of contaminants. The Dwarfs also seem to clean the pool out itself occasionally. I gained ~30fps from it 

[MonkeyHead]

my cleaning trench seems to self clean... i put a 1x4 channel 2/7 deep by my front door... mainly to clean the jam covered soldiers. big fps gain.
