Cleaning up vomit

Psymonkee · 4 Sep 2010 at 13:01

Welcome to my disgusting thread, no pictures though

Had a few friends round last night and some drinks on the go. One guy went off to make a phonecall and we never saw him again. Found him at 4am face down in his own vomit :/

On my mattress

Firstly in the short term: How do i clean this up in the most effective way? Searching via google is fine but I wouldn't mind some real world answers

The stain is also on the carpet too.

Secondly: Would it be better/quicker at this point to toss the mattress and get a new one?

Thanks

clean as best as you can with some kind of carpet/upholstery/steam cleaner.

The smell will remain but leave bicarbonate of soda on it for a couple of days.. this should get rid of the odor.

Cat litter works well, but the smell will last forever.

But if your comfortable with that then follow the above dudes advice of cleaning with upholstery cleaner, and bicarbonate of soda.

Agree on make the **** head buy a new matress. That smell will be around for a while...

Specially as it has soaked through.

I'm curious to know why you didn't investigate where you friend had gone...I assume it was a while before you found him?

He was arguing with his girlfriend on the phone & we thought he had left as he was last seen outside

It gets worse

He made an effort to clean up, the carpet and bedframe are fine but smelly.

Half hearted effort at the mattress and has merely flipped it over

Like you said that's soaked through

I'm thinkning new mattress now.

*****SPEC ME A MATTRESS*****

Double mattress preffered. Suggestions?

Give him the vomit covered mattress, and take his mattress.

Problem solved. :cool:

Where have you dumped the body? :eek:

In a Morrisons shop.

They'll never work it out

Those foamy stain removers for couches should work well. Last time I used one you pressed the nozzle against the fabric, pressed the trigger and a load of foam got pushed into the fabric and spread out getting rid of the stain and the smell.

Make him by you a new mattress./give you money for a new mattress. That just downright disrespectful and the least he should do.

New mattress for sure.
