Dog sick on a rug...

[James Drake]

I know, who knew that such a glamorous subject matter would catch your attention!

So, my Jack Russell / Patterdale cross has been sick on our rug. To make matters worse it is the kind of rug that is lots of little bits of material(suede) that stick up in the air.

Any tips on the best way to clean it? It is a fairly big rug so no chance to wash it. I've obviously picked up as much as possible but I don't want it to smell, plus my daughter crawls on it so need to make it hygienic.

Poor little pooch, not sure what caused her to feel ill but she looked really sheepish when she'd done it (we heard it happen)

Any help appreciated!

Try and find a biological spray to break down the vomit. You may want to rent a carpet cleaner to do a spot clean, if not, a spray on carpet cleaner (in a can) and then vacuum.

Considering our dogs eat a bowl of food in under 30 seconds, we deal with vomit on a regular basis

Top tip - thanks. Wish me luck!

Thanks for the advice all. I've picked as much of it up as possible and heavily sponged the area, just with water for now as it happened this evening and there was no time to pop out and get any artillery - sorry I mean cleaning chemicals.

Borrowed a Bissel "little green" carpet cleaner and accompanying pet solution. What a machine! Seems to have removed all traces.
