I own holiday homes and rent them out people in over xmas was sick in four-poster bed room on the carpet ... we only found out yesterday when cleners in and last night people who are just in for new year come around saying can smell it still ........ then only was saying her job is

fragrance Research.

Initially I filled a bucket with warm water and liquid cleaner in my carpet cleaner and cleaned it using that and kitchen roll.

I sprayed it with disinfectant.

It's still very whiffy, what can I use to get rid of the smell?

I've heard of using bicarbonate of soda or baking soda, something like that but what do you do with it?

not sure if you can fully.

sick is stomach acid and enzymes.. extremely hard.. contact a carpet cleaner for advice or check out a carpet or general cleaning forum like "clean it up"

I agree with the bio washing powder. I used bio wash powder with a vax twice for good measure and it worked a treat.

You can buy a product from pet shops called Simple Solution. Use the one designed for cat urine. Works really well.

I used it last new year when I drank too much and threw up on the sofa and carpet!!

Try a diluted solution of Milton sterilising liquid, it seems to takeaway smells rather than just masking them which a lot of other things do.

if this happens spray the sick with shaving foam that lifts the sick from the carpet as it foams so you dont scrub the sick into the carpet then just scope the foam up and clean underneath with warm not hot water xxx

Lemon juice!

Clean it first of course with some disinfectant or whatever you use then rub in some lemon juice, leave it a couple of days then wash it off

Its one of my grans tricks for removing any smells and it seems to work, you can smell lemon for a while after but its better than smelling sick and i quite like the smell of lemons, you can just say its your new air freshner lol

if all else fail hire an industrial ozone generator, these work by speeding up the oxidation.

My house had a 40 a day smoker with the windows shut and it got rid of that smell.

If all above fail, my ex used to be a pro carpet cleaner and used to use a product called Sanex made by Prochem, it is used quite often in nursing homes, it's not cheap but is sure to do the trick, you should be able to get it from carpet cleaning suppliers, look it up online for details
