Cleaning Out Vomit

So I was driving home from a party in my brand new Evo X and my friend decided to vomit all over my backseat, as well as the carpet beneath it and the back of the Recaro seat.

Can anyone give me advice on how to clean it out? So far I've just been rinsing and wiping.

Try to get a hold of a "Spot Bot" steam cleaner. Works wonders...

Steam clean the carpet.
If you want to get serious and never smell it again, you're probably going to have to pull the seats so you can pull the carpet and replace the foam under the carpet. I feel for you man.

if you got the interior coverage from Mitsu stealership with your warranty, then you can make them clean it.

damn that sucks, you will have to steam clean it for sure at the least.

naw, its time to get rid of it, trade it in, buy a new one, j/k
but I would seriously make him cover it, and +1 on the pull seet and carpet to replace padding under carpet. That and a good steam clean should take care of it.

remove everything around the vomit area, so you can properly clean it.
if any vomit remains the smell will just linger on forever and ever.
try and go to a janitorial supply place, they sell all sort of cleaners.
just make sure you try a small area first, so you don't remove any color from the carpets.

make sure your sick friend helps you with this cleaning project, after all its his fault.

this was my first thought when i seen the thread title. lol try turtlewax brand oxyguard cleaner i believe that works wonders on stains in the interior. friends girlfriend spilled alfredo sauce on the backseat and i cleaned it right off with that.

Luckily I don't have any stains cause I cleaned it pretty quickly. I rinsed with ammonia today and used some febreeze and I can't tell if it still smells or not. I'll be sure to steam clean it when I get the chance, thanks

Oooh man. Thats unfortunate. Indeed the interior scuff-guard thing you can get covers any seat stains. They replace them, from what I understand. Hell I damn near threw up in my own X last night when I was getting DDed.
