HOW TO CLEAN DOG VOMIT FROM CARPET

What You Need

• Simple Green Pet Stain & Odor Remover
• Cardboard
• Paper Towels
• Soft-bristled brush
• Non-abrasive cloth, sponge, or rag
• Gloves (optional)

Cleaning dog puke out of the carpet is never a good time. That's why you want to be sure you do it the right way, a dried vomit stain could spell disaster for your carpet.

It's essential that you remove vomit from your carpet as quickly as possible. If it has a chance to sink deeply into the fibers, the discoloration and the odor are more likely to be permanent.

Many online cleaning tips insist the best way to clean dog vomit from carpet is with a homemade cleaner, but here's the truth. A spray bottle of diluted white vinegar might not work hard enough to get your carpet back to its original color. Dish soap will leave behind a residue that will attract future dirt if it is not completely extracted. Club soda is another popular option, but it won't clean ground-in, sticky stains.

What about baking soda or cornstarch? The small particles can cause permanent damage to both your carpet and your vacuum cleaner. Since these powders are so fine, remnants can clog the pores of your vacuum's bag or HEPA filter. This can drastically reduce the suction power and wreak havoc on your vacuum's engine.

Simple Green Pet Stain & Odor Remover contains powerful, natural microorganisms and enzymes to eliminate severe odors and messes that lodge deep into carpet fibers and padding. It easily removes pet stains and nasty smells from carpet, upholstery, bedding, laundry, crates, carriers, and more. It can even improve or remove old or set-in stains and odor.

DIRECTIONS FOR CLEANING DOG VOMIT FROM CARPET:

To ensure color-fastness, spot test on a small area of the surface to be cleaned. Feel free to use gloves when cleaning up vomit to avoid touching the mess with bare hands.

1. Remove the solids. Use a piece of cardboard or a couple of dry paper towels to pick up the bulk of the mess. Be careful not to press anything deeper into the carpet fibers.
2. Soak up excess liquid. Blot and dab the spot with a dry cloth or paper towels until you can't absorb any more moisture. Use a clean section of your towel each time.
3. Spray Simple Green Pet Stain & Odor Remover to the stained area.
4. Scrub the area with a clean cloth or soft-bristled brush. Work from the outside edges of the vomit stain inward. Be careful not to rub too hard, as this will push the stain deeper into the carpet.
5. Let it sit for about 5 minutes.
6. Blot with a clean, absorbent cloth or paper towel.
7. Dry. Try to prevent your pet and other people from walking on the cleaned area until it's completely dry.
8. Vacuum, if desired. Once the stain is gone and the area is dry, vacuum the carpet to restore softness and evenness.
