Did a job for a customer on Monday evening. Son had puked up over a carpet in a small room after a binge session, and when she opened the door, it was evil.
The incident happened on Saturday night, so it was only about 48 hours old when I tackled it. I used a Prochem product, cherry Contract Carpet Deodoriser, and when I left, the room smelt like an orchard, and I was well pleased.
I phoned the customer this afternoon to see how it had progressed, and was told the cherry smell disappeared quite quickly, and there's still a feint vomit smell left. Does anyone know if there's anything else I could use which might have a better effect? I've got an Alltech product called Odour Clear, which says it's good against body fluid odours. Has anyone used this on vomit and would it be worth trying this?
Or should I just cut my losses, and say there's nothing more that can be done if it's going to be almost impossible to remove. They're not worried about the staining (although I got most of it out), it's just the smell.
Many thanks to anyone who can help.
