Removing Sick Smell from Carpet

RE: Removing Sick Smell from Carpet By JJ (Guest Post) I know its not a very nature friendly way but I cant stand the smell of sick in the house. After my stepson was spectactularly sick on the carpet this weekend we used a product that we previously bought after he had done the same in my car which is Interior1 by Turtle wax it's a (dry clean) upholstery cleaner with added Odor Out. I think we bought it in somewhere like Halfords and it wasn't massively expensive but does seem to work and with out the wet and/or mess of using baking soding etc. Posted on 12/23/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Removing Sick Smell from Carpet By JJ (Guest Post) I know its not a very nature friendly way but I cant stand the smell of sick in the house.

We scraped up the excess vomit and poured mineral water over it and used a nail scrubber to scrub at the stain. Then we mopped up the water standing on a towel. The stain was completely removed. I am sure that soda water would work the same.

How long doIi have to wait before I hoover it up? Posted on 12/08/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Removing Sick Smell from Carpet By (Guest Post) I have used an equal amount of alcohol (rubbing or Isopropyl) and distilled vinegar. just pour on the stain or area and let sit for 10-20 minutes. I use a carpet cleaner to suck up the residue and it works like a charm. Here in the States there is a product that contains enzymes which will break down vomit, urine or other organic substances. I think it is called Enzyclean, there are number of cleaners out there. I think the enzymes break down the order causing substance, however you still will need to clean the area after the enzymes are finished removing the odor.

Have cleaned it all up with water and bold, now am going to try baking powder as have no bicarb at the minute! Will let you know how that works! Note to one self, even though you never use it, keep white vinegar and bicarb in the cupboard!

Will leave another day then vacuum. Posted on 04/07/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Removing Sick Smell from Carpet By stacey o sshaughnessy (Guest Post) My carpet in my baby's bedroom sinks of sick.

My 2 year old has a sickness bug and covered the lounge carpet with sick today and it wreaks, I have scrubbed, scrubbed and scrubbed at it .....now I've just made a 50/50 water/white vinegar solution in a spray bottle and the smell is better within seconds!!! I sprayed a little rubbed it in, and repeated this about 4 times - it really does work, thanks everyone! ps White vinegar descales your kettle really well too (incase anyone didn't know this)!

I used to work for a company and this actually worked.

Dave in Devon, England Posted on 12/19/2007 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Removing Sick Smell from Carpet By (Guest Post) I sprinkle with baking soda, vacuum after two hours, then rinse with vinegar and suck up excess with a wet/dry vacuum. For stains, make a paste of nappy-san and cover stain liberally. Let sit for a good few hours and then vacuum and rinse with water. Posted on 11/27/2007 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Removing Sick Smell from Carpet By Donna (Guest Post) Best way to clean sick and get rid of the smell is first clean up any chunks that was thrown up, then get an old tea towel or something that is absorbent and soak up the rest of it. Then sprinkle bi-carb over the area, leave for a good few hours then hoover it up. Once you've done that, clean with a good quality carpet cleaner, and clean the area well, Do not use bleach, you will ruin your carpet. Once the area is dry, get a carpet freshener (like shake n vac) sprinkle over the area leave for 10 mins then hoover up. It can take a day or two to do, but it works. I'm a mum and I've had a moments when the kids haven't made it to the toilet on time. And this always works for me and my mum for her pets.

I hope it all works for removing the sick smell out of carpets...as i was sick on my mum and dads carpet after bonfire night, 5 days later it still smells and I feel bad about it. Firstly will try baking soda. If that doesn't work I'll try vinegar,then work my way down the list of oxyclean and natures miracle until it goes! Posted on 11/08/2007 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Removing Sick Smell from Carpet By Sharon (Guest Post) I'm telling ya the only thing to get the smell of sick out of anything is to wash the area well, let completely dry then sprinkle with bi carb - leave overnight and vacuum. this really does work on anything smelly. Egg, milk etc Posted on 10/29/2007 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Removing Sick Smell from Carpet By Lou (Guest Post) I have used oxy clean about 3 times in a row to get out smells that have really stuck in carpet. But in between shampooing. I would wait a day or two and let the carpet dry in between washings. Its a hard thing to get rid of. Whether its dog or human stink. Natures Miracle is real good too - I had to use it a couple of times on one room. Be persistent.

How do you neutralize THAT smell? Posted on 09/19/2007 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Removing Sick Smell from Carpet By Dan (Guest Post) Vinegar works great! Spray it right onto area, if you can't spray it use 50/50 with warm water and scrub.

Great tips re the smell - any suggestions to get rid of the stains??? ( Posted on 02/27/2007 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Removing Sick Smell from Carpet By Clare (Guest Post) My boyfriend was sick in my car after a night of drinking. We've washed the car seats, mats and seatbelts twice but still has a nasty sick/beer smell. Any suggestions how i can get rid of the smell. A lot of people have suggested bicarbonate of soda, would i just put this on the area that smells on its own or mix it with something? Posted on 12/10/2006 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Removing Sick Smell from Carpet By (Guest Post) has anybody actually tried vinegar and baking soda? i might just try both but i need to know now!!! hehe it stinks so bad Editor's Note: First put down the baking soda, rub it into the place where it smells. Quite often just baking soda will absorb odors. Add some to the spot then vacuum it up after a few hours. If that doesn't do it, then wipe with a solution of half distilled vinegar and half water. When you add vinegar to the baking soda, it will fizz.

Posted on 03/08/2006 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Removing Sick Smell from Carpet By Madelynnsmama (148) Profile Contact You can use the baking soda either dry, sprinkled on to the spot, let sit a few minutes and vaccum up .. or made into a paste with water, brushed lightly with a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) .. let dry and vaccum. That being said .. I like to use vinegar .. mix about 1 to 1 with water in a spray bottle .. spray on the area .. and let dry .. repeat until the smell is gone! The main advantage is that vinegar has some antibactiral properties where baking soda doesn't .. but the smell of vinegar can be just as bad as the original stink ... but you won't be able to smell the vinegar once it's dry! We currently use this method with our daughter who's starting to potty train and occasionaly has accidents! Good luck to you all!

It WILL neutralize the smell. Good luck.

Tap carpet around the baking soda to get it down in the carpet. Posted on 11/04/2004 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Removing Sick Smell from Carpet By Alphtoo. (Guest Post) Vodka? Naw man. No wonder he got sick! Ask him (or her... you weren't specific) back over and give 'em a shot of bourbon and perhaps a beer. Once (s)he's calmed down, get them to sit on the carpet in question, and give 'em another shot of bourbon. If this is a very good friend, I'd probably spring for three or four shots and a couple of beers. Okay, now your friend is relaxed on your stinky carpet, half drunk, and at this point a pretty easy target. I'd say you have several choices here, but they all include the idea that the carpet has to go, along with any other objectionable material you might roll up in it. Then I think I'd go looking for a better class of friends.

I've heard that vinegar gets rid of cat pee smells, it should work on sick smell too! Posted on 10/22/2004 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Removing Sick Smell from Carpet By Pam (Guest Post) Hi Andy, Clean area again, (I wouldn't recommend bleach in the future - too harsh, I use plain shaving cream), then use white vinegar for the sour smell. Soak area for a couple of hours, blot up and try again if the sour smell remains. Hope this helps. Pam Posted on 10/22/2004 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Removing Sick Smell from Carpet By Dawn (Guest Post) Try sprinkling fresh coffee grounds over the area, leave overnight, then vacuume as normal. Do not cook the coffee first, it needs to be fresh out of the can or package. Truckers use this in semi trailers that have hauled onions, and it really works.
