Miracle cures for sick (and smell) in/on leather sofa - PLEEEASE!!

[MascaraOHara]

DD can't keep anything down and about 2 hours ago threw up ALL over the settee. The cushions aren't removable. It stinks!

Anything ideas are welcome (it just has to be something I have in the house as dd has gone to bed)

Poor little thing

I think Bicarb of Soda is supposed to work - maybe just dilute a bit & test it on a 'hard to see' area first.

Hope someone more knowledgable answers soon though & fingers crossed your dd gets better soon.

baby wipes

seems to be great for everything else

You could try sprinkling bicarbonate of soda all over the affected areas, leaving it overnight if you can, then hoovering it up in the morning. It won't harm the leather that way.

I think I have some Bicarb but might have chucked it. Do you think sprinkling it on will help?

I've done baby wipes already

Ok I've sprinkled Bicarb of Soda (dry) into all the creases. Fingers Crossed!

have you got any clear shoe polish, that might do it?

yes I've got some, this might be a stupid question but what should I do with it?

think I'd just try a bit on a duster, shouldnt harm the leather and take the smell away...hopefully.

best tip ever for vom smell that i got on mn (can't remember who but i salute you) is to leave a bowl of water with vinegar in it (bowl of water with good sploosh of vinegar) in the room near the offending piece of furniture overnight or for as long as you can....it is totally miraculous in terms of smell removal. ds puked all over car, left said bowl overnight in car, next day NO smell....

Have water, bowl and viniger in house.. will def. do that tonight!!!!

it really really works. make sure good load of vinegar in (not half half or anything but be generous).....good luck

Yep vinegar, hairdressers use it to clean hairspray off chairs and mirrors.

Thanks - it really worked!! couldn't smell any sick when I got up this morning. my poor baby is still sick she is being SO good, I really feel sorry for her.
