Q&A for How to Clean Pet Vomit from Carpet

After you remove as much of the vomit as you can with paper towels, sprinkle baking soda or cornstarch over the vomit. Let it sit until it dries, then vacuum it up. After that, you can use an enzyme cleaner on your carpet, just test it out in an inconspicuous spot first to make sure the enzyme cleaner is safe for your carpet.

You can try to use tissues, but they're very thin and unlikely to work very effectively.

Try white vinegar. Apply liberally and give it a day to soak in. You may have to treat a few times to totally get rid of the smell.

Yes, use elbow grease! First, use a dry paper towel to clean up as much vomit as you can, then put dry baking soda on the spot. Clean it up, then use a damp cloth to wipe the area again.

Dawn dish soap should work just fine since it's very gentle. I've used it on my own carpet and it worked just fine.

The same way you'd clean up regular vomit. Pet stores and online shops sell sprays and carpet shampoos for pet throw up. If your dog is ill or gets ill often, I'd recommend buying a carpet cleaner like the Spotbot.

No, it will be much harder to remove from the carpet once dry. You can wear a glove and pick up chunky pieces, then clean the carpet.
