Vomit on a Couch |
|
|
Our 2-year old daughter got sick and we let her lay down on the living room couch so that I could keep an eye on her while she naps. But then she vomited. She is now better but the vomit odor is still lingering around. I have used lysol disinfectant spray, soap and water and a couple of other products but nothing seems to work. Does anyone have any suggestions (other than buying a new couch)? Thanks!

My 4 yr old throw up in the back seat of my car- I've used soap and water, liquid detergent and nothing has worked! Any cures or remedy for the car?

Kids N Pets Instant All Purpose Stain and Odor Remover works wonders. Gets rid of the rotten milk smell, I've bought it at our local grocery store and Walmert.

I can one up you. Trying to be a nice guy I drove a drunk friend home... he persisted to vomit inside my car several times in every direction (he got the front window all the way from the back seat if that tells you anything) So my car still wreaks of budweiser, jim beam, and vomit. Most horrific smell you can possibly imagine.

Not that anyone wants to go buy anything, but rug doctor makes odor eliminator and it took the vomit smell right away!! I just put it in a spray bottle and directly applied to the area. Good luck!!

Try an enzyme odor remover such as those used on pet accidents. There is one called "Miracle" something. Any pet store or pet department will have a variety of these products.

Spray with Woolite rug and carpet stain remover and clean up as directed on the bottle. This stuff works great at removing stains and odors. If after cleaning (be sure to have let the area dry first) there is still a vomit smell use lysol disinfectant spray to kill the bactera/germs that is causing the smell.

Spray the area with water and coat with baking soda. Let it dry, say overnight, and vacuum. Good luck!

Request: Milk Vomit Smell On Couch
My son drank an entire bottle of milk while sitting on the couch. He then smiled and at and vomitted all over the couch! I got most of the white off using vinegar water, but the smell won't go away!

This is what I've had to do -
Heavily sprinkle pet carpet deodorizer on the area and let sit for a short time. The just vacuum it up! You may have to do this a couple of times - if so, let the second "dose" sit for a while longer or even rub the deodorizer in with a damp rag. Let it dry and vacuum again. That should do it. :)
Good luck - nothing stinks worse than THAT smell. (03/23/2005)

If it penetrated the actual cushion you may have a harder time getting rid of the smell, but keep trying. I had to saturate a cushion to get to the center to neutralize this smell when my daughter was young. Then I let it air dry outside in the warm sun for a few days. Then to be sure it was dry all the way through, I put the cover back on and I tumble dried it at the laundromat with fabric softener sheets. I think the heat helped kill the odors that the vinegar water didn't neutralize. Good luck. (03/23/2005)

What can be worse than cat pee odors other than that old spoiled milk/vomit smell. Try spraying the chair with a mixture of vinegar, pinesol and a scented liquid soap. Let it dry thoroughly, and then use some febreeze spray. I know it is hard to work through all that, but it beats trying to run out buying new furniture. Another thought, after you have thoroughly gotten rid of the smell. Try child-proofing your couches.
If the cushions have zippered covers. Take all of the cushions out, and wrap the cushions in large plastic trash bags, tape tight as possible. And then put the cushions back in.
Not only will you have waterproofed the cushions, but I recall how everytime i sat in my chair, it felt as tho' i was sitting in an "overstuffed chair". And boy, that was such a relaxed feeling, especially after a hard day at work... Good luck! (03/31/2005)

RE: Milk Vomit Smell on Carpet
My baby vomited on our rental unit carpet. I first washed the area with detergent twice to remove the vomit. The smell was almost worse afterwards. I then tried Baking Soda after it was dry on the floor, left it over night and vacummed in the morning. I then dosed the carpet area with Febreeze and the Smell is gone. It actually smells nice like Febreeze. Hope this might actually help someone and save someone from having to tear up the carpet which a few readers suggested. Cheers.(01/07/2006)
