sick on car seats
Discussion
dunno if this is in right place. but im a taxi driver with a 2012 ford mondeo and tonight ive had a kid throw up on the back passenger side seat it looks like it was cornflakes and milk combo. the mum cleared most of it up but its left a stain about the size of a dinner plate. has anyone got any tips on what is the best way of cleaning this stain up as i havent a clue!!! i have a 1000watt handheld hoover steam cleaner would this be any good? im not back at work until wednesday dinnertime so hoping i can sort it by then,so any helpful advice guys??
p.s. i did get a hefty soiling charge

If you can wait,Remove the seat on a warm day.Prepare a warm bucket of water with a handful of washing powder in it .Soak the seat through and scrub the affected area if required.Jet wash the soapy water away and leave overnight to drip dry,or in the sun if possible.You will be left with a clean seat that smells of clean fabric.
After a similar child-related incident a few years back I called a valeting company who understandably didn't want to clean kiddie vomit.
Me: "I understand you won't clean vomit and I think that's fair enough, but if you were in my shoes, what would you grab yourself and use?"
Valeting bloke: "Stain devil for the outside, empty most of a bottle of Febreeze over the seat cushion for the smell and innards and keep the windows open to dry it out."
It worked fine but I'm not sure I'd do it on leather/alcantra/other non-typical seat coverings. It was a dark grey seat cushion as well so a forgiving colour to work with.

My daughter left a leaking pint of milk in the boot of her car during a hot week in August. The stench was awful. However I got rid of it with a couple of Vax treatments. Fortunately most of it dripped onto the boot carpet and into the spare tyre well and only bit spread onto the rear seat

You need an enzyme based cleaner like autosmart bio brisk otherwise you wont get rid of the smell due to the milk.
An old pool car at Mrs BC's work had two litres of milk spilt on the rear footwell years ago - still stinks and short of replacing the carpets it probably always will.I think it went thro the carpet and into the sound deadening material - no amount of wet vac activity is going to reach it now
k off.
