Hi Jeannie!
Basic Carpet Stain Formula I
This should help eliminate the odor!
* 1 cup vinegar
* 1 cup water
* 1/2 cup baking soda
Mix well in a spray bottle. Blot accidents with dry towels, paper towels or even a baby diaper if you have one, and then spray, blot excess and let dry. (Don't use a scrub brush because you could split the carpet fibers if you rub too vigorously. This can be repeated if the odor lingers.
Hope your son feels better!
Lysol spray.
usually eucalyptus oil or wool wash with eucalyptus in it works fast and is reliable the oil will penetrate the carpet and the wool wash does loosen the fibres, after washing with wool was sponge dry with an old towel. good luck
dish out the money get a new costly one. Tell your son to race fer the out house next time, don't expect mom to do every little thing.
In Australia there is a product called " Nilodor " which is used effectively in hospitals. I also had success with it in my taxi.
use a strong mix of white distilled vinegar and water spray on let sit then when dry use a carpet cleaner to go over it again that should work.
you could always try bi carb soda.. that should draw any smells up...
vacumme after a few hours... i hope this helps
Try sprinkling the area with powder (baby powder or perfumed powder works good, or baking soda) on the DRY carpet.. don't use these if it's damp or you'll have a bigger mess.. wait for about 15 minutes and vaccum... Also try rubbing the spot with white vinegar..
Oddly enough my sister-in-law and I were talking yesterday and this exact topic came up. It happened to her when her little boy threw up on the carpet and even though she cleaned it the smell just wouldn't go away for days. This is what she did. She completely covered the entire area with baking soda (very thick) and placed towels over it. Then she left it for an entire day. After she pulled up the towels she vacuumed the carpet (it was shag-like) and that was what finally got the smell out! Good luck!
amonia watered down in a spray bottle and scrubb with a brush
Lysol
When my old dog used to make a mistake in the house that seemed to neutralize the smell.
