Help with getting rid of the smell ....

of sick.

This morning my DD was in a bad mood and cried herself sick (nice!), I washed the carpet straight away using detergent... which didn't take the smell away... next I sprayed it with air freshner which didn't take the smell away... next I put dry bicarbonate of soda on it waited 15 mins and then hoovered it up - it still stinks.

My final attempt is a paste of bicarb of soda and baking powder leaving it on all night and hoovering it off in the morning. The room that she did it in (her bedroom) absolutely stinks of sick and obviously now she is in bed I can't do anything else to it - but when I have been in to check on her the room is overpowering with the smell.

Do you have any suggestions of what else I can put on it to get rid of the smell - its just so disgusting I can't tell you.

Thank you and hope I haven't put you off eating your pancakes
