Hi, says it all really, dd had the vomiting bug. My car has non-removable carpets. I've used spray foam cleaners but a week on it's dry and stinks still. Would appreciate any tips to remove the smell not just disguise it. Many thanks.

We used bicarb, oust and febreeze on ours which helped - on seperate cleaning attempts I must add, not all at once. We could still catch a whiff of it every now and then tho.

Oh and a steam cleaner - that really helped

I have scrubbed mine with Boots disinfectant (smells nicer than Dettol) and boiling hot water.

lots of my friends recomend zoflora, it is very strong, sold in a little bottle and you have to dilute it.

i use the bicarb method and sometimes dilute some essential oils and then use that hth

I copped out and had the car valeted after DD threw up in it, as I was collecting my new boss from the station. The car was only 6 weeks old.

Ooh Sherbert poor you. I've avoided letting anyone non-family in the car but can't pull it off much longer. Thanks for the tips everyone, now I'll have to find my bicarb

I expect they've sorted it out now- 5 years on...
