Make sure that you have completely removed the chunks and remnants eft behind and that you have identified and isolated the area that needs cleaning. 2) If you were able to get to the vomit spill while it was still fresh then once you have removed the vomit substance you can apply some OdorKlenz Absorbent granules directly on the affected area. Allow 15-20 minutes of contact time for product and vomit odors. Once the product has absorbed and neutralized the odors you may come behind it and sweep or vacuum it up.

Next apply the OdorKlenz source directly to the affected area and allow for at least 15-20 minutes of contact time. At this point, you may pour the OdorKlenz source directly onto the affected area or you may dilute the product into a pump spray or spray bottle and spray it on.
