There are concerns that it could be abused to damage criminal evidence.
The man, who uses the nickname 'Hua', is from Guangdong Province, China, and claimed to be a senior researcher at the Biotechnology Institute, according to the Hong Kong media South China Morning Post.
He recently posted a video on a Chinese social media platform called How to Clean the House.
In one video, he demonstrated how to clean bloodstains on the bathroom floor.
He poured hydrogen peroxide and toilet cleaner into his bloodstains and rubbed them to remove stains, while another video showed him how to apply toothpaste to the bloodstains of his pants and rinse them with water.
He then emphasized that blood traces disappeared using luminol reagents and ultraviolet rays used to detect blood traces.
He also demonstrated how to melt chicken bones in drain cleaner and hot water and extract fingerprints from cell phone screens using talc powder.
He claimed that his tip was to solve household problems, but he also sold the drain cleaner used in the video for 34 yuan (about 6,800 won) per bottle.
Netizens who watched the video said "Removing bloodstains and melting bones feels like a guide to 'complete crime'. I'm afraid criminals will abuse it", he pointed out. Another netizen criticized "It appears that they made a video to sell cleaning products."
In response, Hua explained that "video focusing primarily on scientific popularization rather than product sales"."
It added that "provided information on chemical principles and safe cleaning methods"."
A lawyer said, "There is no violation of the law because the videos do not directly teach how to commit crimes." "However, it can be a crime if you advise them to commit crimes such as the disposal of bodies." he said.
After the controversy, some videos have been deleted and only common cleaning methods such as cleaning oil stains and household appliances have been posted.
