Long story short: my friend threw up all over the back seat of my car. It was literally everywhere — on the seat itself, the carpet, the seat in front of it, side of door, etc..

Luckily I managed to clean everything up and shampoo the carpet/mats + wipe everything down. It looks pristine EXCEPT the fact that there is some vomit stuck inside the tiny holes in the seat. The only way to describe it is that the seat itself is perfectly smooth but the tiny holes in the leather look clogged.

I'm really worried that I won't be able to get this out and the smell will linger and have no idea how to take care of this...any ideas?

 

Toothpick and lots of hot water!

 

b-i-n-g-o

 

But please call it puke or vomit . . . not "throw up."

Thanks!

 

let your friend clean it lol.seriously though, I wonder if you could vacuum it out if the suction was strong enough. maybe some sort of wet vac? Personally I would take it to get detailed and let them clean it.

 

bro.. the problem that u have is that some vomit is still somewhere in their.. and u gotta find it... that is why the smell is still there.. the reason I know cuz chic was ummm trying to be head of the class and vomit all over the seat and me.. it took today cleaning, but the smell was there like a week.. so i said let me investigate.. it was vomit in a small crack that i didn't see.. after i removed it.. smell went away.. good luck in your investigation

 

My son puked in the back seat of my coupe! NOT COOL! It pooled in the bucket seat and we used napkins right away until we got home. I used "BABY WIPES" a leather brush(fine bristles) with warm water mixed with "OXI stain remover for baby's" do not use hot water it will swell the leather. The smell is from bacteria and the OXI baby is a formula is designed to kill bacteria (Hence killing the smell) and remove stains. It is not harmful to your kids so it wont harm your car. I use it to clean my car all the time. Dont over do it with the OXI but mix half and half with water. Hope this helps.

 

For the smell and to clean without harming your interior:

Holy ****... if one of my friends threw up in my car.. I'd be so ridiculously pissed. I'd make them help me clean it all up because I know they wouldn't be able to do an efficient job if they did it just themselves. Even if it were one of my girl friends i'd probably make them clean it up. Probably wouldn't yell at them, but still... that's ridiculous.

Anyways....

The first thing i'd do is wipe everything down and clean it up with your usual stuff. Then i'd use that leather cleaning technique that's listed on detailimage.com with the leatherique oil and cleaner. That SHOULD get rid everything including vomit in the little holes. Make sure you have a brush. Then just some conditioning and 303 afterwards would finish it up nicely. Carpets.. i'd soak them in water and detergent or carpet cleaner for a couple hours plus alot of brushing.. then rinse with the hose and let dry.

 

I'd highly recommend the Leatherique Rejuvenator Oil and Leatherique Prestine Clean for the leather. It does a great job of penetrating deep in to the seats and releasing contaminants.

If you have any bad smell left over I'd suggest the Chemical Guys Extreme Offensive Odor Eliminator - Concentrated. Spray it on the carpets and wipe down the trim, etc. with it to kill bacteria causing the smell.

 

I would do what some said up top with the toothpick but i wouldnt use to much water i think that might mess up the seats in some weird way iunno better safe than sorry

 

thats why i stopped getting ****faced or associate with ppl getting ****faced after i got my G :P

 

Or you could just refuse to drive and have someone else drive their car instead of your G hahah

 

I like the Head of the Class comment

 

You're effed. Soon as you think it's clean, wait until you get in your car on a hot *** summer day, you'll get to relive that blissful event all over again. Also, find new friends.
