Getting rid of the smell of vomit!!

If I remember rightly, sprinkling the area with bicarbonate of soda leaving for a few hours or over night and then hovering up.

I'm sure there is something in the OS section about this. I'll have a look for you.

There you go two previous threads.

Sick on the carpet - sorry!


Help please my house smells of sick

I third that. Bicarb is brilliant for removing smells. If it's particularly bad, as per Butterfly's suggestion, soak the area in white vinegar fo an hour, then sprinkle the bicarb over it. leave for at least an hour (as long as poss) then vacuum up.

If the smell still lingers it may be in the underlay.

for any unwanted smells i use a product from a pet shop called simple solution and it gets rid of all smells and stains and is brilliant

i use it as an air freshener now (its for cleaning away animal urine , sick etc ) is also good for stains on clothes and costs about £4.00 a bottle and lasts ages

and as it is for pets your dog will not be able to smell where your daughter was sick , it has a lovely scent

The title says it all really - I'm at my wits end trying to get the smell of vomit out of a carpet.

I packed my 11 year old off to his dad's on Thursday night so my 15 year old could have some friends over for the night - predictably 2 of them had smuggled some gin into the house - and spent the entire night throwing up.

Unfortunately the main area of sick was in my 11 year old's bedroom on the floor right next to his bed.

I've borrowed a carpet shampooer and used the Vax liquid formulated to get rid of pet smells - obviously teenage vomit smells are more resilient!!! I've been over it twice now - the last time I used the entire tank of soapy water on that one spot - the feint stain that had been there has gone but the smell is still strong.

I am so annoyed as it's my 11 year old who is going to be smelling this - through no fault of his own - it's only the fact that I'm 6-months pregnant that has stopped me from throwing my 15 year olds belongings into his room and painting her room blue and moving him into it today!!!!!!

Any ideas for what I can do to get rid of the smell????

I've had all the windows open since Friday morning and the room seems quite fresh until you close the windows then the area can be smelled and after the door has been shut for a while it fills the room.

Bicarbinate of Soda???? Just going to go sprinke some on and hoover it off and see if that helps??????????

Biological washing powder?

I don't envy you one bit.
