Expert tips on cleaning for all sorts of rooms/situations/items that we've gained and gleaned from over 20 years experience in the cleaning industry. We also hope to post news and information related to the British cleaning industry. Whether it is something as innocent as a young one who hasn't been feeling well, or whether it's something not quite so innocent as the aftermath of a night out, we have all found ourselves on our hands and knees trying to scrub sick off the carpet. It is a huge understatement to say that it's not an entirely pleasant way to spend your time (and that's just the smell) but you really don't have a choice. Left to sit for too long, it could leave a repugnant odor on your carpet for the foreseeable future, or even worse, it could seep through to the floor boards. Then you've really got a problem. Many people have their own unique pro-tip to clean up this mess, but this is what has worked for us in the past: The first step is the worst. Rest assured that it can only get better from here. To begin with, you need to pick up as much of the vomit as you can. So get a pair of latex gloves, grab a spoon or a scraper of any kind, and hold your breath. Make sure to pick it up and not press it in - this is why we suggest a spoon or scraper - as it will only give you more work. Once you have got rid of as much as you can, give yourself a pat on the back (make sure to remove the gloves first!) and let's start getting rid of the stain.
