There are some spots and stains that can end up on your carpet that are difficult to clean. Some of the hardest to handle stains are ink, paint and bleach to name a few. They are hard to clean and repair but if you use the right methods it can be done. Another type of stain you may end up dealing with can be vomit. Now that school is starting the kids are going to be around other kids that may spread germs. The germs that are being spread around make their rounds in the first few weeks of school. Many kids are not careful with touching things then touching their face. They also are not great at keeping their hands sanitized and prevent sharing things that could spread germs. Being sick is not something that anyone wants to deal with but kids are even worse. They are sometimes not able to make it to the bathroom when they have to vomit and that is when it may end up on the carpet. You want to make sure you have a plan on how to get the vomit off your carpet. Steam Magic Carpet Cleaning outlines what you need to do to clean vomit off your carpet.

Remove Excess Vomit from Carpet

The first thing that you want to make sure you do is to protect yourself. The vomit can have germs and bacteria in it that can end up making you sick. The best thing you can do is to use gloves. The next step is to make sure that you are ready to remove the excess. Sadly vomit can be very messy and is not always liquid. You want to get a trash bag out and something to scoop the solid pieces. This is the part that has to be done so that you can clean the actual stain. You can remove the parts that you can and toss them out in the trash outside. Once you get as much excess off as you can you can move into the cleaning.

Clean Vomit Stains & Odors with Baking Soda

Another step that you can take in cleaning vomit is to clean as much of the stain as well as the odor as you can. This is best when you use a product that can pull the moisture out of the carpet. Baking soda is a great tool to remove some of the moisture as well as the odor that vomit leaves behind. You want to cover the area with baking soda and allow it to sit for an hour. Then come back and vacuum up the baking soda. Now you can go about cleaning the discoloration.

Get Vomit Stains Out of Carpet with Vinegar & Water

Now that you are ready to take on the color that is left behind for the vomit is to use vinegar that is diluted with some water. It is best to use half and half mixture. Then you can use a clean cloth to dab at the area with the cleaning solution. Repeat the process as often as needed to get the stain off the carpet.
