Burn it.
Second best option would probably a sponge and cold water.
Now get on it before your parents get back

Re: getting vomit out of carpet
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.

What would happen to dilute H2SO4 plus carpet? Hmm, that'd be interesting.
Everyone knows what would happen if concentrated is added.

Re: getting vomit out of carpet
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.

Re: getting vomit out of carpet
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.)

If you've got the time and money, rent a steam cleaner.
Re: getting vomit out of carpet
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.

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.

Re: getting vomit out of carpet
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?

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.

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