  • You could also try a solution of 1 part white vinegar, 2 parts water and a few drops of washing up liquid. If it is in a smallish area, you could try covering with salt, then placing a damp cloth over and leaving for several hours. The Salt will 'suck up' all the yuk. I hope he is feeling better soon.

    i hate the smell of sick, i would do the bicarb aswell and if it's in the air bicard in water (or your slowcooker on low) will absorb the smell

    Lou, Vodka is your answer if the bicarb fails, pour neat Vodka onto the area and leave to dry for a while, then rub with a dry cloth, works every time ( and you might have some left for a swift drinkie :D:beer:)
