Let H be a a fixed graph. H-bootstrap percolation is then defined as follows. We start with a set G \subseteq E(K_n) of initially "infected" edges. Afterwards, the process proceeds in rounds. At time t ≥ 1, an edge e becomes infected if there exists a copy of H in K_n for which all edges except e are infected at time t-1. We say that a graph G percolates in K_n if eventually all edges of E(K_n) are infected. We study this process in the setting where the initial graph G is a random graph G_{n,p} and H is the complete graph K_r. We determine the critical probability p_c(n,K_r) for K_r-bootstrap percolation up to a constant factor, therewith improving the currently best known bounds for p_c(n,K_r) and answering an open question posed by Balogh, Bollobàs and Morris.
