OT:(or maybe not) Puke Odor

One of my Grandchildren stayed over last night and unfortunately puked over the settee, it was cleaned off and washed down & bicarbonate of soda sprinkled over to absorb excess moisture etc.

The stink when we returned tonight beggars belief! We've tried deodorizers, perfume etc which masks it for a while, but then it suddenly creeps up on us and grabs us by the throat :-(

Any ideas pleeeeeeeaze?

  1. Cat litter.
  2. One of those 3-in-1 carpet/upholstery cleaner machines.

Pet accident sanitary cleaner (Betterware, or a pet shop). S[ray on foam, wipe off with a damp cloth. Seriously good deodoriser; stops cats coming back anyway...

1001 carpet and upholstry cleaner - mousse with brush attached to tin. It has been good for puke for us. Absolutely no point in trying to mask the smell - you need to get to the root of the problem, which is puke trapped in the material. A good wet vacuum cleaner/ shampooer is worth a go too. Borrow if you don't have one.

Never tried it. But it sorted out the smell after comprehensive vomiting over an armchair!

Outside, we use the cat.

I would have thought that babies vomitting on furniture was an everyday experience. What is it about this piece of furniture that is so different I wonder.

Mostly, babies are fine and the vomit doesn't cling. But, just as with rain and snow, there are many classes of vomit, and occasionally you get a bad one...

There's a vast difference (and quantity) between baby vomit & a nine year olds!

Maybe my furniture is super absorbent ;-)
