Corrected entry: When the kids' face gets covered in blood, he tries to wipe it of, smearing it all over his face and hair. Later on his face is entirely clean, with a small bloody spot only. There is no way you get blood of your skin with a dry cloth only, and specially not in that amount of time with better things to do.

Correction: He's disgusted and terrified by the fact that he has a dead man's blood covering his face, so it's an extremely high priority from his point of view. A cloth wet with spit or a water bottle (common on a team's bus) would work well enough to remove it.
