how to get spew smell out of carpet

First, scoop up the chunky regrets, blot—don’t rub—the area, and pat yourself on the back for choosing carpet, you brave soul.

Saturate the spot with a 1:1 mix of white vinegar and warm water, blot again, then bury it under a snowdrift of bicarb soda and leave it overnight to munch the pong.

Vacuum, then hit it with an enzyme cleaner (the pet-accident type) to break down lingering proteins—the smelly culprits.

Repeat as needed, crack a window, and resist heat; hairdryers just bake in the bouquet.

If the whiff hangs on, flush with plain water using a wet/dry vac, and spot-test any stronger brew on an inconspicuous patch first.

Still iffy? Call a professional steam clean and blame the dog with a straight face.
