How to clean vomit out of carpet

In case there are any of you new moms, like me yesterday, who are at a loss in this situation!  I got this from this website http://www.howtocleanthings.com/how-to-clean-vomit.htm.  I can testify that this works very well!

1)      Big Chunks.  If the vomit is still wet, I generally start with some paper towels and very gently, so as not to rub it into the carpet further, scoop the chunks out and drop them in the garbage.

2)      Dab with damp towel.  Get a spray bottle, fill it with cold water (or, better yet, club soda), and spritz down the vomit goo. Now, take a white towel and start blotting and dabbing the puke. Spray with water and dab with the towel repeatedly until the puke is up. Make sure to use a clean section of towel each time.

3)      Your very own vomit cleaner. Grab a mixing bowl, pour

·                        2 cups of warm (not hot) water in it, and stir in

·                       1 tbsp of table salt. Once the salt is dissolved, mix in

·                        ½ cup of white vinegar,

·                      1 tbsp clear dish or laundry detergent, and

·                      2 tbsp rubbing alcohol.

This isn't an exact science, so just estimate. Now grab a clean kitchen sponge, dip it in your vomit cleaner, and press it into the vomit. Do this several times so there is cleaner all over the stain. Grab a new old towel and blot just like before.

4)      Rinse.  Grab a glass measuring cup, fill it with warm water, and flood the area of the stain with it. Using yet more clean/dry towels, blot up the water. It works best to set the towel down and walk around on it. Rinsing is important because you want to make sure to get the detergent out of the carpet. Detergent has a tendency to attract dirt.

5)      Odor control.  Grab a box of baking soda and start sprinkling. Don't be shy about it either. Dump a bunch of the stuff on there. Once it's down, work it into the carpet with your fingertips. The carpet will probably be a bit damp still, and the baking soda will get clumpy. That's OK. Let it sit on the carpet until it is completely dry. This will take several hours, possibly even overnight. Once completely dry, vacuum it up.
