How to get rid of smell of vomit from car upholstery?
 

Don't ask how.

How can I get rid of the smell of vomit from a car seat? Tried wiping
down several times with disinfectant and letting it dry thoroughly but
it's still there.

It's a faux-leather material, not a cloth fabric.

Bi carb of soda would be the usual answer. But on that fabric? Small test at
the side of the seat?

Based on two experiences of vomit in my car:-). Don't ask how.

My late dad used to swear by Lemon juice, maybe that just masked the smell
though!

It has a bleaching effect Brian, so I'm a bit reluctant to use it.
Thanks for the suggestion though

Or just get the correct bottle of chemical from your local janitorial
supplier. Pets are also known to vomit and similar products will be
available at pet shops or vets(possibly with a price premium)

Try that enzyme cleaner stuff from pet shops, it's for pet "mishaps" but in
my experience it consumes the source of the smell. When you put it on any
kind of "bodily fluid" (in my case, cat ****) you can see it fizzing away
and it gets rid.

* with the usual warnings about checking it won't wreck your fabric. I used
it on carpet and it got rid of the issue without staining or any other
damage.

Have a word with your local taxi/hire firm. Its probably something they
are familiar with.

One of those plastic sachets of mozarella in brine burst in my fridge
(because I left it there for months and it fermented) and the liquid
ran out onto the carpet. Now there's a stink of old cheese with more
than a passing resemblance to the smell of vomit. I wonder if that
would work? (Has that link been truncated?)

Followup:

Wiped seat down with weak solution of a citrus disinfectant, then let
dry. Sprayed with generous amount of Febreeze top and underneath half a
dozen times, rubbing excess fluid into the fabric and letting dry
thoroughly in between applications - of course, the recent weather
helped with drying times. Car is soft top so I was able to leave the
top down to help with drying.

Smell now gone. Thanks all for the suggestions

I could explain the cause of the vomit, but this is a family newsgroup.

Why would you buy in bags of vomit to store in your glove box?

Also available from sources on Amazon

When searching you have spell Odour the USA way (odor) and you probably
want the "extreme" version of the product. Shop around, last time I
purchased it I found a 3:1 price difference.

It may cheaper if you search for Prochem products.
