Most people want to keep their home looking good and that means having a plan to clean any carpet stains. No matter how careful you are there are times that something will spill on the carpet and you will want to make sure you have a method to remove it. Now that the kids are back to school they are sure to bring home messes that you were able to avoid all summer long. One of the things that seems to plaque kids when they head back to school are germs and illness. The kids are all around each other and sharing pencils and touching desks that other kids have touches. This close proximity allows germs to flow into your home and make your kids sick. When they start to come down with an illness that causes vomiting you need to be prepared. If they are not able to make it to the trash can or bathroom you may be stuck cleaning it off your carpet. Tough Carpet Cleaning outlines ways to clean vomit stains and odor off your carpet.
Remove Excess Vomit from Carpet
One of the biggest problems that comes when someone vomits on your carpet is that it is a mixed stain. The vomit of course has moisture but it also many times has solids that will need to be addressed. The solid excess is what you want to remove right away. The best way to do that is to use gloves to protect yourself from touching the germs that are sure to be in the vomit. Then use a spoon or hard object to scoop up what you can and have a trash bag near by. Get as much of the excess that you can off the carpet then tie up the bag and take it outside to the trash bin. This clears the way so that you can clean the odor and discoloration.
Vomit Odor Removal from Carpet
You want to have a plan on the best way to get rid of the odor. Vomit is not something that you want to let linger around your house. The problem is that the moisture will start to soak down in the carpet fibers and the backing. The best thing you can do is to use an odor remover such as baking soda. You can cover the space with the baking soda and allow it to set on the stain for about an hour. This will help to soak up the odor and the moisture so that you can continue to clean the rest of the mess. This part of the process may beed to be repeated at the end of the cleaning section. Once it has sat you can use your vacuum to remove the baking soda and prepare the way to clean the discoloration.
Remove Set in Vomit Stains
Vomit is hard to treat because you don’t know what you are getting. Depending on what they ate last you could be dealing with many different colors. The color can be treated with a moisture of vinegar and water. Then use that to soak a rag and dab at the spot until it is removed.
