When you have kids...

you need an instant remedy to get rid of the smell of vomit in your van. OMG!!! We are driving home after a wonderful lunch at the Old-Fashioned (which I discovered on Emily's birthday party and having waiting to take Ted) and we drove past a house we had heard might be going on the market. All of the sudden Rauan does his coughing thing and starts vomiting--all over! Why??? Of course if my kids weren't such little piggies and would use the garbage can in the van instead of throwing things all over and pushing the garbage can under the seat--this would be a minor issue (yes it a washable one). So, I have now been outside in the cold, trying to clean up the van and anything on the floor went into the trash. Harsh? Perhaps. But maybe they will learn to respect things instead of tromping all over items with their yucky snow-covered, sloppy boots. And have the trash can available so mommy doesn't have to test how strong her stomach is (thank goodness it's strong)
Any ideas besides taking it in for detailing??? It really stinks and I've used what cleaners I have.

I hear you! E is a coughing-vomiter, too. The Old Fashioned IS a wonderful restaurant, by the way! My suggestion - Nature's Miracle (available at Mounds). Yes it is for animal messes, but it's enzymatic action works on ANYTHING. Your van will be fresh in no time. Good luck!

Ah ha--have that here at the house. I just went and sprayed it down. We'll see how good it does. With 2 dogs, we love it!
