How to Remove Vomit Smell from Carpet – Method # 2
- Using a pair of gloves (if available) or a paper towel, remove any solids from the stain before trying to clean it. Place them in a sealed bag and dispose.
- If any of the vomit stain has dried, try dampening the affected area with cold water to loosen the stain.
- Using a scrub brush, scrub the area with a bit of laundry detergent and water.
- Finish by spraying the affected area with Febreze, which helps remove vomit smell from carpet.
How to Get Rid of Vomit Smell in Carpet – Method # 3
Another way to tackle how to remove smell from carpet involves using two different products that can be purchased at your local store. The first product, OdoBan, comes in a variety of scents, depending on your preference.
After removing as much of the vomit stain as possible (using a scraper) simply apply the OdoBan directly onto the vomit stain. Whether you choose citrus, eucalyptus, lavender or cucumber melon scent, this solution should help remove vomit smell from carpet.
Tackling Vomit Stains on Carpet – Method # 4
And one final way to approach the question of how to get rid of vomit smell in carpet involves a powerful vacuum. If you don’t own a Bissel or Hoover vacuum that specializes in spot cleaning, perhaps a friendly neighbor has one you can borrow. Or perhaps purchasing one may be worth the investment!
The reason these spot remover vacuums work so well is their ability to use a powerful suction to tackle tough stains. The Bissell SpotBot, for example, does all of the work for you. You simply park the SpotBot directly onto the vomit stain (after removing any solid pieces with a scraper or paper towel) and let the powerful brushes and suction do its work.
