Bicarbonate is amazing for this - put a whole tub on & leave as long as poss then vac off.

Bicarbonate of soda

Some kind of plug in air freshener. I never usually buy them but we had a similar situation and it worked when nothing else did.

Find some enzyme cleaner, usually aimed at getting rid of pet smells.

Biological washing powder has the right enzymes for neutralising the smell

Bicarbonate of soda. An air fresher will only mask it.

Air fresheners work by switching off your sense of smell, so treat the area with bicarb, or wash with biological cleaner. Pet accident treatments are usually suitable for fabric.

Half water, half vinegar. It smells of vinegar for a short time after, but that passes.

This, it needs to be overnight or all day - or both!

Pet enzyme cleaner. This cat one is good because it's not got a strong fragrance like the dog ones.

Spray cheap perfume with a high alcohol content over it.

Yes, get down the pet shop (or on Amazon).
It was the only thing that saved my car after DS puked all over the back seat

Yes, definitely bio washing powder/gel. The enzymes munch through the sick. Leave it on for a bit as well - although I've only ever done this with things when I know it won't mess up the fabric.
