How on Earth!?!?

How do you clean out vomit off the carpet?!?

[Reverend Joe]

Bleach. The carpet will be discoloured anyway.

[Big King Sanctaphrax]

Bleach? Unless you have a white carpet, that's a terrible idea.

Try soda water, or Vanish.

[Kanamori]

The time my roomie went all over the floor, I used lots and lots of Febreeze. Handy to have around for getting rid of pot smell, beer smell, vomit smell, you name it.

[Togakure]

There is a product made for removing the stains--and particularly, the odor--of pet mishaps from carpet and the like. I don't remember what it's called, but it does well in breaking down the stench (though not as well at eliminating stains). I would try giving your local pet store a call and ask if they carry products like this, and if the person you speak with sounds knowledgeable, ask them if they have a recommendation.

Why on earth would anyone want to get rid of the smell of pot? Oh, right- authority figures.

[GoreBag]

Stain Extinguisher, a rag, and patience. Also, read the instructions on the side of the canister.

[Uesugi Kenshin]

You use Citra-Solve, rags and water. If the carpet is puked on enough for a long enough period you'll need to shampoo it or replace it. Our dog's throat doesn't work so our carpets are in a pretty bad state.

[SwordsMaster]

White wine tends to work....although it tends to be a pretty expensive option...

Buy a new carpet.

OMG what an opportunity

Kewl, that's a some good advice.

BTW I did clean out most of it, it took me hours by I did. It still reaks though. Is there something to get rid of that smell?

[Uesugi Kenshin]

Citra-Solv or a similar product will do that very quickly, it has a VERY strong citrus smell and wipes out all but the worst puke smells. Only a couple of our dogs worse messes didn't stop smelling after that. And those required a shovel sooooo....

[Papewaio]

Baking soda and vanilla...both are odour eaters. Once it is clean I would use vanilla essence in warm water, soak the site and then dry it off... it will dilute any left over vomit and the vanilla eats up bad smells.

[Uesugi Kenshin]

Hmmm I've never heard of that method Pape, around here we're lazy and use spray bottles.

[Weebeast]

Tell your dog to lick it. Hey, don't waste food. Somebody already said the dog liked sniffing that. Well, when I like sniffing something I always end up eating it. I like sniffing pies.

[Uesugi Kenshin]

The dog will only lick up so much of his own vomit before even he loses interest...

Nah. My dog quite happily ate his own vomit, then threw it back up again to eat once more. He ate it three times. Nutritious, no?

[Byzantine Prince]

Progress is being made. I learned never to drink too much and then lie down again. Thanks for your helpful advice guys, you all helped.

*vomits again from the thought of more beer* damn it!

My dog pukes almost every day, or nearly pukes at least. Trust me a dog will not eat a 2-3 shovel scoop sized pile of it's own vomit. Also if the vomit is particularly nasty looking he won't touch it, an d this dog will eat anything.

[edyzmedieval]

Reminds me of something...

Was in the school camp. One of my friends threw the Magic cards of another guy on the floor.... I was feelling very sick. I went out of the room to go to the bathroom, but there were 2 guys sitting in front of me, so I couldn't resist...

I puked on the floor, exactly on the guy's Magic cards(about 100). Everybody laughed till they made in their pants.....

Why on earth would anyone want to get rid of the smell of pot? Oh, right- authority figures.

In my teenage bad-boy days I prefered empty toilet paper rolls filled with very strong fabric softner dryer sheets.

Just blow in through the roll and the smells completely changes. No wetness from febreeze and the smoke is completely transformed, rather than allowed to survive in its own detectable form.


Fortunately marijuana is a legal product in many countries and heading that way in many other countries.


The concept of marijuana criminalization has proven to be absurd by every country that has taken steps towards de-criminalization. Kudos to you, brave social experimenters.

This is what states are supposed to be able to do, but obviously my own Republican Party cannot acknoledge state's rights anymore. (and that's all I will say about that in order to keep this here in the frontroom)

The key lesson I can offer you as a life long alcohol connoisseur (my wife's title for my routine since young adulthood) is this:

Learn what your limit is with various types of alcohol. I can drink an ungodly amount of 4.5% Alcohol by volume beer and have no issues. This is not a boast, and I am not impressed with myself. I simply can drink alot of regular beer. Probably could drink a 40 pack to myself in one day without getting sick or blacking out or losing control.

I take about a half gallon of Bacardi to reach my borderline.

And Tequila or Jaigermeister will do me in about 5 or 6 shots. Max.

I also refuse to drink both because one makes me ill and the other makes me mean.

Just learn your responsible limit. Never lose control. You should never puke from too much alcohol. That's no fun. Neither is barfing in your own beer and then drinking it again. And getting chiefed by your buddies is something that I will never allow to occur.

The second and parrallel piece of advice I would give is to ALWAYS plan your night. Not to the minute or anything crazy, but have a rough sketch of where you plan to start, how you plan to travel, and how you plan to get through the night alive.

The dead guys I see in my investigations are the ones who had no plan for the night.

Simple sketch:
(1) Pre-flight at buddy's house. Buddy #4 is the designated driver.
(2) Buddy #4 drives everyone to club/movie/food/entertainment/etc.
(3) Drink more and have fun. Buddy #4 does not drink AT ALL. NOT EVEN ONE.
(4) Buddy #4 drives everyone home and makes sure nobody gets in a fight.

Alternative plan cause Buddy #4 couldn't resist drinking:
(4a) everyone chips in for a cab and the car gets left overnight.

Always have a plan and know your limits and you will have many many wildly fun nights where everyone survives. Nothing is worse then waking up to find out somebody didn't make it alive.


These are the golden rules of mature alcohol consumption. Pretty simple.

edit: always plan for late night munchies. Sucks to take a cab home to where there is no food. Or to drink all night and be hungry at 3am only to discover the pizza delivery is closed.
