Ok a slightly disgusting question

I wasn't feeling well last night...well been under the weather for too long. Anyhow last time I had to clean vomit itwas from a nice solid surface. Carpet, what is good? And yes ran the bisell already over the stains...soda as in white powder soda powder am thinking but those of you with little ones have more experience.

Waiting for the first run with the bissel to dry. It did clean it somewhat. But need something more effective. Yes, we dd clean gross crap last night.

from the supermarket, followed by a good soak with Nature's Miracle, available at pet stores.

I once dumped a plate full of spaghetti with tomato sauce onto a beige carpet and used that supermarket stuff on it the following day and that stain was GONE. The rug cleaner will get rid of the stain and the Nature's Miracle will get rid of any organic residue.

Will pick the pet cleaner tomorrow. The stains are quite diminished now that it has dried.

It comes win it's own shampoo. Due to conures we got it since I run it every so often where they mostly stay in the living room.

While I'm sure I shortened my life 10 minutes or so from the nasty chemicals, it was just amazing to see that bright red stain simply go away.
