My sister in law threw up all over my carpet. The carpet is a dark brown, but there's still a huge stain and it stinks horribly. I have used the carpet cleaner vaccuum-thingie with pine cleaner and fabric softener several times--I need help. This is in our new apartment in a room that I made special for my family to enjoy and now we cant even bare to walk past it. I've opened the windows for 2 days even and that hasnt helped the smell--it's horrific.

The vomit is still in the carpet padding.
You can clean it with the carpet cleaner every week...
and it may still smell.
Go to the pet store and get NATURES MIRACLE.
Its a colorless, odorless solution that has live enzymes.
The enzymes will eat any organic matter (such as pet urine or vomit) from carpeting.
You will have to saturate the area and let it dry slowly for 2 weeks. It will smell as long as it is wet.
When it dries, there will be no stain or odor.

Did you make her clean it up and if it smells that bad what the hell did she hurl up. UM with my kids when they would throw up i always watered it down and soaked it up plus they only threw up milk or juice and then i would spray it with carpet cleaner then a smelly thing like frebreze so maybe you should go rent a rug doctor and go over as many times as you can in the time you have it rented plus get stain remover and smelly stuff to see if that works AND BAN THAT WOMAN FROM coming over or doing whatever made her sick in the first place so good luck

Use Lysol. It will kill the germs that keep making it smell, and get some Resolve foam or 409 carpet cleaner. Fabreeze will not kill the germs so the smell will keep coming back.

Try using a combination of first OxyClean, and then Febreeze.
The OxyClean should take care of the stain. It gets all my cat's hairball stains out of our light tan carpet easily.
If there is still an odor, Febreeze can usually get rid of it.
Part of the problem is that the vomit tends to be acidic, since the person throwing up usually brings up some of their stomach acid and bile. That tends to burn itself into your carpet, and takes work to get out.

Odo ban should take care of the smell and you have to find a great stain remover or you may need it professionally cleaned.

I have discovered that the perfect way is to conceal the realm liberally with bicarbonate of soda (obtainable interior the baking aisle interior the food market) and to depart for some days. Then vacuum all of it up and the scent must be lengthy gone.
