Step 1: Air The Room

Open all the windows to let in some fresh air

Step 2: The Horrible Bit

Put on some rubber gloves and if you have one a mask. Get rid of the bulk of the vomit using a kitchen spatula or garden trowel to scrape it away being careful not to spread it. This is the worst part but you need to get stuck in.

Step 3: Rinse with cool water

Rinse the area with cool water

Step 4: Sponge with detergent

Sponge the area with a solution of warm water and wool detergent or carpet cleaner

Step 5: Rinse

Rinse thoroughly with warm water using a dab and blot method

Step 6: Killing the odour

To get rid of the last remnants of the stain and to tackle the smell make a paste of baking soda and warm water and cover the effected area. Sprinkle some dry baking soda on the area surrounding the stain. Return a few hours later when the paste has had time to dry out then give it a scrape and vacuum up the dry powder. It also helps to leave a few saucers of white vinegar around the room to absorb any remaining odours in the air.

Step 7: Repeat if necessary

The effectiveness of the method depends on the nature of the vomit so you may need to repeat some of the steps.
