Not sure what to do. Maybe carpet the stairs and landing and have wood/laminate in the bedrooms.


I have a young son so got a lot of years ahead of cleaning up sick, blood, chocolate, mud.

Sounds strange but try spraying it with hairspray. Keep spraying until it's wet then work it in. Leave it for a few minutes before dabbing it and cleaning with warm soapy water.

I did this after someone puked after drinking red wine and it completely vanished.

If all above fails can you not claim on your insurance?

Do you mean buildings insurance? It is a leasehold flat so the building is insured by the freeholder.


We are moving soon so I think I will just clean it as best I can

You contents insurance may cover accidental damage.

I did recommend this stuff for removing red wine stains a few weeks ago. It was amazing at doing that, and I imagine it would work well on sick too. Most supermarkets seem to have it.

We have both pet cats and kids so from experience you need to be careful what stain remover you use. The last time , we used Vanish on one of one of our Ikea carpets after black current juice got spilt and it bleached it . However, I have read that baking soda is good. Either way, you can always rent if it's really bad or if you decide to clean the whole carpet same time. We always found it's much cheaper than getting the professionals in .We used Bestathire last time, did collection and delivery to.

I swear by 1001 Stain Remover, which you can normally get at poundland. So far it's got red wine off the walls, port from a carpet, and paint from laminate flooring!*

*not all at the same time, I hasten to add.
