Avocado Throw Up
My 8 month old threw up some of his avocado yesterday on the carpet. I initially just used soap and water and thought that would have been okay. But now, I can still smell it. I have tried cleaning it again (with soap and water) and some type of neutralizer but still it's not working. Does anyone have any suggestions??

Hi C.,
I have had the best luck with plain old peroxide. I buy this at the dollar store for 2 for $1. I have had great results. It seems to get everything out.

If you live in Fresno, I can give you a free sample of a Shaklee product that I have. I have an ad in Mamasource. My phone number is listed in my ad. So, if you are interested I'd would love for you to give it a try.
Two weeks ago, I forgot and shut the door where my liter box was located. Well, my poor cat could hold it now longer and peed on my bed. It went though all the blanket, matress pad and into my matress. Well, I quickly mixed up a stronger batch of the cleaner and it really got the smell of cat urine off my matress.
Good luck, B.

My husband owns his own carpet cleaning business, vinegar is bad if you have pets because they may mark over it, resolve has bleach in it and may bleach your carpet, soap leaves a residue and you will later have a brown spot there. The best would be nature’s miracle. It doesn’t damage carpet or have any other ill effects.

My darling husband bought a used car that people had smoked in. I used Capture - a carpet cleaner. It seems perfect now. If it can get out cigarette smoke, it can probably take out everything else.
Good luck.

Nature's Miracle-- you get it from the pet store. It gets out ALL bodily fluids and works on all sorts of stains. I had rotting milk in my car seats and just soaked it with that, and it was gone! get a gallon and keep it on hand!

I use Spot Shot for everything...the stuff is magic! I've cleaned up everything from food spills to pet mess to dirt. We also spilled red wine one time and didn't see that it went under the couch, so it was soaked in and dried up for a few weeks before we realized it. Spot Shot got the stain and the smell out. It's sold in the grocery store by all the carpet cleaners...blue with an orange lid.
Good luck!
