The Logic Verdict

My Take: The video author notes: “This is how to clean vomit stains from your carpet. This process will also remove pet urine and poop stains as well!!” In my experience, you should start by following the visual inspection steps shown in the video.

The Science

Vomit is highly acidic and can bleach carpet. Baking soda is a base.

Step-by-Step Removal

  1. Remove Solids: Scrape up what you can.
  2. Sprinkle: Cover heavily with baking soda to absorb moisture and neutralize acid.
  3. Wait: Let it sit for 15 mins.
  4. Vacuum: Vacuum up the powder.
  5. Clean: Treat remaining stain with dish soap and warm water.
