...Good luck. It's hard to get coagulated puke off floorboards, let alone carpets.
Anyway, I used many paper towels and suitable cleaning products. Oh, and deodorant, for the smell.

That green powder they used in elementary school or saw dust to pick it up.

First you have to use a wet rag or towel or something and get it all up, then dry it, then you need some kind of carpet cleaner or something like Tuff Stuff or a knock off of it and spray that on and scrub it for a while.
Thats what I did, it worked pretty well. But im sure there are several other ways that will work.
Oh yeah, open a window or something if possible.

Soak it up with kitchen tissue paper, then clean it up with a disinfectant liquid. Then get an old towel and dry it off, then stand on the towel to make sure. This works for me when the dog decides to throw up in the house.

Carpet Fresh would also be a plus. I believe once you have the chunks up, a foaming carpet cleaner could also do the trick.
And for your own satisfaction - make the puker do it.

This is just proper puking ettiquette. If refused then this is not someone who should be invited back. Also, no matter what path you take (I'm with the foam carpet cleaner) to cleanse the afforementioned puke, the Febreeze is key. At least scent-wise. |

Anything else is just... wrong. And if it's on carpet, the Stanley Steemer is really a good suggestion. That'll get it down to the undercarpet. |

vinegar should help take out the smell (but kinda spot check on your carpet first to make sure it doesnt make the spot noticbly lighter or discolour the spot all together (it shouldnt but ive never tried on like a bright orange shag carpet lol)
but yeah it should help, thats what the gf used when her cat peed on the futon

I think the only time the puker has to clean it up is if it was a drunken St Patricks Day heave. But if someone has the flu or something, sometimes vomiting accidents can't be helped. And if you have the flu, you should be able to just sleep.
But anyway I've never had a person vomit on my carpet, but I've dealt with a few pet messes over the years since I used to live with a couple cats.

My friend had so many puke stains in his basement carpet that he just removed the carpet altogether and painted the cement black. Now his floor is extremely cold, save for a few area rugs here and there, but most messes are a breeze to clean up.

If it's the flu or something uncontrollable, I'll go with that. Getting drunk and hurling definitely assigns you to clean-up duty. |

If it's the flu or something uncontrollable, I'll go with that. Getting drunk and hurling definitely assigns you to clean-up duty. I have a story about that. When I was around 19 I got too drunk at my friend's house. I was sitting in his room, and I felt the urge to vomit. I didn't have much time, so in a hurry I grabbed what I thought was a bucket and threw up in it. Unfortunately, what I grabbed was not a bucket, it was a milk crate. Oops. It stunk so bad, and I felt so guilty that the next day after work I bought some carpet deodorizer and brought it over. It helped, but the smell never completely went away. From then on he had to burn incense to be able to sleep in there. |
