How do I get the smell of puke out?

Two weeks ago or so, dd had the tummy flu. I did the laundry, and folded it, but went to change her sheets the other day and the freshly washed crib sheet still smelled of puke.

 

How do I get it out? It looks clean but smells still....

Apparently my sniffer is pretty bad as I didn't notice it went I was folding the clean laundry.

I have never tried this on clothing, but to get the smells out of carpet, I use an enzyme-based pet carpet cleaner (in the pet aisle). Took the smell out no problem (and it was pretty cheap, less than $5). HTH!

Ditto the enzyme based pet stain remover.  It works great on odors, as does the peroxide-based pet odor remover.  If you don't want to buy a whole new cleaning product for one or two sheets, try Arm & Hammer laundry detergent, or put a cup of hydrogen peroxide in the laundry with just the crib sheet.

When my family had the norovirus during Christmas 2006, my kids puked everywhere -- beds, carpets, furniture, you name it.  I used gallons of the stuff, which I had on hand for cat accidents.

That's an interesting idea. Currently I'm washing it again with stain stuff on the spot that smells the strongest with baking soda. If that doesn't work I'm going to try white vinegar. If that doesn't work I'm totally trying your idea. I'm just worried that since it is her sheet and she has sensitive skin that it might make her red.

ammonia and vinegar - worked great for us when Carson had the stomach bug back in spring

50% Vinegar and 50% water solution.  Works like a charm.  My carseats stunk for months until I used this trick.
