Removing the small of vomit from a carpet

[stu]

By the way, is it really only a bijou amount of vomit, as in the title, or are you worried by the odour?

I bought that many years ago when it was for sale on QVC. Didn't work.

Partially singe the carpet - then the smell of burnt carpet will outstink the smell of stale vom.

Don't singe too much though, as it may result in a burnt down house.

Try making a wet paste from biological washing powder. Spread liberally on the vom affected area. Leave for a good while to soak in, but don't let it dry out, then sponge off.

I think I've been watching too much Kim & Aggie.

Don't bother trying to get it away it will die away over time.

Cold soapy water is the answer. Never use hot water for vomit. My brother taught me that, he worked on the ferries and became quite a dab hand at cleaning up other peoples sick. It's something to do with the smell being carried around the air in the steam from the hotwater.
