Vomit in car seat

[hetty]

How do you get the vomit smell out of car seat straps? C threw up all over the place in the car on Thursday night. I cleaned it on Friday morning before I went out of town but the straps still smell terrible. Are there any tricks? I cleaned them with water/dawn.

@kirkette (I think) said you can hire someone to come out and clean them. This is what I'd do. #notveryhelpful

I just wanted to commiserate with you.  Been there, done that.  The smell went away eventually.

Yeah, the last time C puked in his seat I actually replaced the straps (I happened to have a spare set lying around). Obviously this isn't practical.

I would do multiples passes with a damp soapy cloth and dry in the sun as much as possible.
