what can I do to get (fishy) throw-up smell out of my laminate floors?

Also, this is the most I've EVER talked about throw-up! LOL.

Cats have that kind of affect on all of us!! Ever seen so many references to 'pee' and 'poop' in any other social forum???

Yeah, I left the baking soda paste on for almost three full days -- it dried into a solid plaster after an hour or so, and then I left it for another 70-ish hours. And that seemed to do a decent job on the laminate-floor incident.

Today I'm dealing with a new throw-up -- once again, fishy and watery, so it soaked through everything -- on carpet and upholstery. :-/

I use this for general stains and it works great.

Thanks CatladyJan -- I'd never heard of that product before, but just Googled and found it's available at stores nearby... at about 1/3 of the price of Nature's Miracle. So I might try it! And/or the shaving-cream suggestion, since that's the cheapest option so far. ;-)

We used it on carpeting and upholstery for stains both dog related and not.

Quick question, ladytimedramon : did it also get out the odour(s)?

Because that's what I need it for (there are no stains, just stink!). Thanks!

Yes. Everything just smelled from shaving cream till it aired out.

To close the loop on this thread, what finally worked was OUT!

It's actually a product I used YEARS and years ago, when I moved into an apartment where the previous tenant had let her cat and ferret pee/poop EVERYWHERE. It got the smell out completely then, and I didn't even realize OUT! was still in production. But it is, and it worked. PHEW.

I didn't even realize OUT!

wow, I didn't either - thanks so much for the update and the info!

I've just recently had luck with Irish Spring. Liberally lather the area three times and fully rinse . Then let it air dry. I have pretty inexpensive laminate tiled "floating" floor. I'm not sure if that makes a difference, but figured I could mention it.
