vomit = enzall for me

I did a job in a bail hostel, vomit had been present on a synthetic pile for 6 weeks, even started to go moldy, I used enzall and finished off with cleansan........ results were so much better than I expected


Any longer than that I've not had any experience of but I'd expect some damage to be permanent

Depends what has been eaten before the vomit hit the carpet, the type of carpet etc.
Some Dog food for example contains Dye, If its human vomit (Red Wine / Curry for eg) on wool carpet then your prob going to have problems.
I would start with M/S and rinse (Cold as its prob a protien based stain) then Stainpro and so on.
Maybe you would have to go down the sod met route, peroxide etc as a last resort.
I would always spray vomit first with Microsan / Microkill to prevent spread of infection prior to cleaning.

Yes that's right just go over it with a hand tool or wand with cold water and extract
before treating it. There is a small chance of interaction with whatever has been used.

I always flush with cold water first. It is less likely to provoke a reaction with whatever Madam has sloshed on it. Rinse until nothing comes out ( a clear plastic tool is good for this.)
Then start with a mild product on a small area, then progress through your arsenal of spotters.
Sounds as if you need a bit of training. :)
