Great hey
2 nights ago my little girl ate something that disagreed with there resulting in sick all over my rugs and sofas
Weve washed cushions and throws and as best s possible the rug but we just cannot shift the sick smell. Weve aired the rooms and even tried frabrezze but as soon as we came down the stairs this morninf the smell knocked us back again
Is there any OS ways or tips that any of you may be able to share. The suites as goos as new and to smell of sicks not fab
Thanks in advance

Keep rinsing with clear water and antiseptic (like dettol) this should help remove the smell.0

I swear by bicarb for absorbing smells.I've had best results by sprinkling it on the offending area when the smell is quite fresh IYSWIM.I'm not sure whether it work after things have been washed.I think what I'd do is dampen the rugs,sofa etc then sprinkle on bicarb,leave for as long as poss-couple of hours at least,then hoover it up.HTH0

i agree with the bicarb of soda could you make up a solution with warm water and sponge the seats etc? i keep a small bowlful in the fridge to absorb smells0
-
wide bowl of white vinegar solution is good for absorbing pongs.
we use this when the cats have leaked.0 -
When this happened to me I tried everything to get rid of the offending pong.
The only thing that shifted it was a steam cleaner. We steamed the area and it got rid of the smell straight away....worked for a milk spillage on the carpet too:D
They can be expensive to buy but I think you can hire them out quite cheaply...0 -
I know just how you feel, my son returned from a holiday with his dad and seems to have picked up some kind of bug.....we've had too many bodily fluids going round.......the bicarb seems to work best I've just cleaned everywhere and 'hopefully' it smells OK. I say hopefully because I'm beginning to become immune to the smells!0

Yes my daughter also has a bug and has just vomited all over my bed. Just cleaned it up and had to stop myself doing the same thing!!!!YUK!Here dead we lie because we did not choose
To live and shame the land from which we sprung.
Life, to be sure, is nothing much to lose,
But young men think it is,
And we were young.

my house smells too :j0

I think it's it's possible to use wallpaper steamer (cost about £20 from B&Q ) as a steam cleaner. Not tried it yet, but got plenty of yucky stains on the carpet to test it with :rolleyes:.
Partner's idea of cleaning the carpet was to drizzle vanish gel around and leave it. Now there's dirty drizzle stains all over the dining room carpet. :mad:
