Question:

Throw up on the carpet?

Ok so my friend threw up on my other friends carpet so she freaked and grabed toliet cleaner and put it on the carpet and then it hardend now its stiff on the carpet. We tryed everything I tryed a steam cleaner and lots of other cleaners and no luck can some one help do you maybe know a remedy please help

Answer:

Probably the fibers are now chemically burned. No remedy. If the closets are carpeted, cut a patch from the back corner and exchange with the damaged section. Use double sided carpet tape to hold down the patch. In the future have some enzyme carpet cleaner for vomit and use that after cleaning up the chunks. Actually club soda works wonders.......
Things You’ll Need: Dry Cleaning Fluid Mild Dish Detergents Ammonia Soft Dry Cloth Water Step1 Remove as much of the vomit as possible from the carpet without spreading the mess. Step2 Pour dry cleaning fluid over the stain. Step3 Blot the stain with a dry, white cloth. Step4 Apply a small amount of mild liquid detergent to the stain. Step5 Blot again with the cloth. Step6 Flood the stain with water. Step7 Blot again with the cloth. Step8 Pour a small amount of ammonia over the stain. Step9 Blot again. Step10 Apply a little more detergent to the stain. Step11 Blot again. Step12 Flood the area with water. Step13 Blot one last time. _______________________ Tips : Dry cleaning fluid can be purchased at home supply stores or the dry cleaners. Always test the cleaning solutions on an inconspicuous part of the carpet before using them on a large area. Use a white cloth rather than a colored one to prevent any dyes from coming off on the carpet. As you blot, keep turning the cloth so that you are using a clean, dry section to pick up the stain and the cleaning fluids from the carpet. Don't rub. If using a brush to help clean the stain, always brush from the outer edges of the spill inward to prevent the stain from spreading.
