We are 3mo away from moving into a 1-year temp rental, while we try to look for something more permanent. Last week, my 1-yo niece puked all over our current couch (egads!)--I used enzyme cleaners and have extracted most of the stain/smell. We had originally planned to wait to buy new furniture until we found our long-term house in a year or so; however, no one is really wanting to sit on this sofa. Question is: Should we 'deal with it' until we find a permanent house and then buy a sofa that works perfectly for that house------or------should we get rid of that sofa now and buy something 'just guessing' what may work for us. (We need some sofa so just waiting won't be an option). What would you do????
It's baby puke man, get over it. Rent a carpet/upholstery cleaner and go over the sofa if you guys are that wigged out about it then buy a sofa when you get a new place that matches the decor. In all honesty, there is probably more bacteria... even e coli on things like your purse, cell phone, coffee table, remote controls, kitchen sink etc. than the couch.... especially if you wear shoes in the house or have pets. If it was me, I would just deal with it as you said because if you wash it then it's fine. Wait until you have your own kids and they're spitting up and peeing on your furniture.... this really isn't a big deal.

If you cleaned it with enzyme cleaner then it is fine. If you still feel funky about sitting there than rent a steam cleaner or have it steam cleaned. Covers can be expensive and a new sofa can be really costly.
I would sponge the area with a 1/2 white vinegar, 1/2 water and som3e bicarb soda added several times. This should remove the stains and smell. I can't see the point of buying new furniture just yet if you don't have to.
I think you're getting some great answers. Not what you were hoping for, I'm sure...haha! I will add one more suggestion: If you cannot get the smell out completely or just gag at the thought of residual baby puke coating your behind, I would recommend you identify the cushions that took a hit and replace them. Sofas use what is called high density foam and it's pretty darn easy to replace them. Pull the foam out of the cover. If it is not closed with a zipper, use a seam ripper to carefully open up the back edge of the cushion cover. Once you have the foam exposed you can see how thick it is. Order the appropriate foam and use the Hamilton Beach electric knife to cut it. You can use a kraft knife to cut the foam but the edge won't be very good. The electric knife will make you look like a pro. Just be sure to practice a bit before you make the real cuts. And of course, all you need do is put the old foam on top of the new foam and trace the outline. Finally, insert the foam back into the cover and stitch it closed using a blind stitch if you know how. I've included a link on how to do this. And just think, having fixed it up you can sell the sofa when you move!!! Buyer beware....hahaha ...where do you live? :D
