ok, I would have laundered the clothes too…but I ALWAYS have a full load of laundry to do anyway, so what’s the big deal of adding one more set of clothes?

as far as getting rid of the puke-smell, I use the Little Green Pro-Heat by Bissell with the Pet-Stain solution. It worked when my friend’s daughter puked pink cotton-candy vomit all over the backseat of my brand new Prius. (ok, I was the one who took her to Sea World and bought her 4 cotton candies,but I digress). Even the scorching south Texas sun didn’t bring that smell back.

I swear by something called Nature’s Miracle. We mostly use it to remove pet house-training accidents (what it was designed for), but it gets out bodily stinks of all kinds, and we’ve had success with removing vomit smell from carpet. You can buy it online or in most pet stores. Follow the directions on the bottle.

Also, I would have washed the clothes too.

I wouldn’t have washed the clothes and I would have considered having the kid’s mom clean my car. Maybe the kid. Ok, not really. But dang, I’m glad this never happened to me.

I am here from Thursday’s Drive .. and glad I found you, MH.

There’s a hyperlink up there if you click on bunkbeds – it’s just hard to see.

Good luck with the puke smell. Our bunkbeds still smell, and it's been over a year and a half since that particular vomit incident.

I would have washed the clothes too. The poor mom has enough to deal with, and probably lots more laundry ahead of her.

LOVE your blog – so much fun! Okay, on the subject of leaving the puke clothes for the sick girl’s mom. Most moms I know would automatically do exactly what “covered in puke” did. The mother is coming to get her sick child – hopefully feels VERY guilty and will be groveling at your feet when she meets you at the door. So, wash the clothes and be done with it.
