getting vomit out of carpet

[Strike For The South]

Anyone know how?

[Kralizec]

Burn it.

Second best option would probably a sponge and cold water.

Now get on it before your parents get back

[Cronos Impera]

I know a number of solutions
1. Spill some H2SO4 over it ( just jokeing)
2. Let it dry up, take it outside, put it on a brach and spray it with water. After that let it dry up and beat the rug with a stick. The air does the rest. 100% clean carpet. Post some pictures of it before and after maybe.

[Avicenna]

What would happen to dilute H2SO4 plus carpet? Hmm, that'd be interesting.

Everyone knows what would happen if concentrated is added.

[Mithras]

I can help with this one

1)scoop up what can be scooped
2)use a mixture of washing up liquid in hot water or anything else which won't damage the carpet
3)spray with some anti-deoderant substance

That should do it, although admittidly what exactly you've eaten may cause problems.

Pay a cleaner, or get your mum! :D

Depends where you've vommed mate. IIRC vomit on the carpet of a student common room comes off quite well on the clothes of unsuspecting fellow students... (I would have cleaned it up, honest, but if I say I was watching the News at Ten under the impression it was Quadrophenia you can see I was in no state. When I came back in the morning to clean, hey presto, the vom was all gone.)

Happy days

[Lemur]

If you've got the time and money, rent a steam cleaner.

[Pannonian]

If getting the carpet off the floor is problematic, clear the carpet of lumpy bits, then clean the affected area with water mixed with soap, washing up liquid, soda, or anything else mildly alkaline. If you don't neutralise the acid quickly the stomach fluids will bleach the carpet.

[ajaxfetish]

Come on guys, this is the backroom!

Let's hear some hard-hitting debate, entrenched positions, and borderline personal attacks already.

I say vomit can't be cleaned out of carpets, and I'm ready to stand by that position no matter what you say. Well, bring it.

Well I think this whole thread displays typical western male capitalist kneejerk prejudice against vomit anyway. You should all be ashamed of yourselves. That vomit has a RIGHT to be in the carpet. Yeah, it starts with vomit, and you know where it ends? Gassing Mexicans, that's where.


Something like that maybe?

[GoreBag]

Get some stain extinguisher and follow the damn directions. Then scrub.

Liberal vomit-monger. It's commies like you that are bringing America to its knees when it should be there praying to God on the Big White Telephone.

Each state has the right to determine its own way of cleaning up vomit, and if necessary, all chunder must be armed.

[Big King Sanctaphrax]

Bizarrely enough we actually had this exact thread in the Frontroom a while back, I'll see if I can find it.

[Strike For The South]

Its almost out.

YOU STILL HAVE THE RIGHT TO CHANGE YOUR MIND !!!

Does it have a poll for which acid is the best: H2SO4, HNO3, HCl, LSD . . . ?

They can't handle questions like vomit's rights over there, the sissies.

See, that's the problem with you Anglosaxons. Now you can bitch all you want about our so-called outdated continental social system, but at least we don't hide our vomit so the rich don't have to see it.

[Reverend Joe]

I find that extra-viscous pig's blood works best.

[Reenk Roink]

Gah!

No Zorba, that's defaming Muslims and Jews. I'll report this to the mods.

getting vomit out of carpet

Gah, you're American Strike. Never heard of carpet-bombing?

You guys use it all the time for removing a few unwanted stains.

[Reverend Joe]

I am Jewish.

...Well, half anyway.


Oddly enough, I don't know a single Jew who doesn't eat pork. It seems to be very popular amongst them.

[IrishArmenian]

*In Texas accent* "That stain has weapons of mass destructon and we are calling a preemptiv strike against it. I will not rest until the opressed rug is free from its vomit tormentors."
All Bush impressions aside, I prefer to either soak with water, hang out to dry, and then scrape it off with a stick, or if it attached to the ground, take a large, sharp knife, cut out the area, go to nearest fabric store, get fabric that looks like it and sow it on. If that doesn't work, cut it out, and rearrange the stuff so that a coch or large armchair is over it and no one will notice.

[Justiciar]

Blame it on the dog and walk away.. just.. walk away.

NOW LEG IT!

[Uesugi Kenshin]

Well we decided to just rip the carpets out. Our dog has a problem where he can't really fully swallow, so he pukes a ton. Then again that's after about a year of dog-pukes....

[Crazed Rabbit]

They make some products for getting dog 'stains' out of carpets, that get rid of the smell and the mess. I'd recommend something like that.

You loony limey socialist! It's just society's fault for everything, isn't it? The vomit can't take responsibility for itself, can it? Maybe if we stopped coddling all this puke, it'd stop showing up!

I have to come to Strike's rescue because you non-Texans are no help at all.

Here's what you do Strike:

It isn't enough to just get rid of the vomit and stain. You must also remove the source.

1. Now, usually at this point the source is a pliable lump. Cut the carpet all around the edge of the room.

2. Roll the source in the carpet and drag it outside. Leave it at the curb on the next street over.

3. Blame the lack of carpet on late night carpet thieves taking advantage of the carpet wars. Alternatively, it was a very hungry cockroach. You are in San Antonio, after all.

4. If, by some mischance, you and the source of the vomit are one and the same, you now have a dilemna. Rolling yourself in the carpet is probably somewhat beyond your now limited dexterity.

5. Assuming #4 is true, try the blame it on the dog trick suggested earlier. If you don't have a dog, then try the cat. If you don't have a cat, then forget the goldfish as that's stretching believability too far. Try blaming it on a younger sibling. An older sibling. Try your neighbor's pets too.

6. Last resort, try blaming space aliens and complain about the rectal probe.

Good luck.

1. Scoop up the lumps first.
2. Take toliet paper and pat the 'moisture' away.
3. Take a rag, rinse it with hot, hot water.
4. Use hot, hot water and soap, wipe away vomit.
5. If this fails, cover spot with something. Most preferably a Spittoon
