Don't fully remove the straps and don't fully immerse them in water. Use a toothbrush (new or old, but clearly don't use yours lol) to scrub the straps in a circular motion. Use water, then a mix of half vinegar and half water with a tiny bit of dish soap. Then re-brush with water. Let air dry in the sun. Should be good as new. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/puke-smell-on-straps#post-2396371 Mon, 21 Dec 2015 22:07:39 +0000 ohemgee 2396371@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used Nature's Miracle (Pet Smart) on our car seat when my daughter spilled milk on her car seat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/puke-smell-on-straps#post-2396334 Mon, 21 Dec 2015 21:30:46 +0000 MrsSRS 2396334@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The rules on cleaning straps are pretty strict. But they also aren't usually all that expensive to replace if they stay smelly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/puke-smell-on-straps#post-2395901 Mon, 21 Dec 2015 14:40:39 +0000 Kemma 2395901@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Here's a good article about cleaning your car seat and it's worth noting that failing to follow the cleaning instructions in your manual could mean that your car seat doesn't perform as it should in an accident.</p> <p><a href="http://csftl.org/clean-my-car-seat/" rel="nofollow">http://csftl.org/clean-my-car-seat/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/puke-smell-on-straps#post-2395560 Mon, 21 Dec 2015 10:32:03 +0000 sslm 2395560@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did the same as @hony bologna: ! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/puke-smell-on-straps#post-2395555 Mon, 21 Dec 2015 10:29:48 +0000 Mrs. Carrot 2395555@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same thing happened to us on Thursday. I mixed baking soda and water and scrubbed the straps and then rinsed them off with plain water. Worked like a charm. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/puke-smell-on-straps#post-2395163 Sun, 20 Dec 2015 18:16:19 +0000 hony bologna 2395163@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is a bit labor intensive, but I just did it the old-fashioned way after my toddler threw up in the car yesterday... After I took off all the cushioning/soft parts of the car seat, I used bowls of clean water to soak, soap up, and rinse the straps. I only used hand soap so it would rinse pretty easily, and there is absolutely no smell now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/puke-smell-on-straps#post-2395157 Sun, 20 Dec 2015 17:41:36 +0000 littleblessings 2395157@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used vinegar today for the same problem </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/puke-smell-on-straps#post-2395155 Sun, 20 Dec 2015 17:40:34 +0000 autumnlove 2395155@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used a lot of Bac Out </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/puke-smell-on-straps#post-2395151 Sun, 20 Dec 2015 17:29:18 +0000 Kemma 2395151@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: lots of sunshine might help with the smell but unfortunately you can only clean the straps according to the instructions in your manual. Fingers crossed you can get rid of the stink! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/puke-smell-on-straps#post-2395149 Sun, 20 Dec 2015 17:19:03 +0000 blackbird 2395149@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had this problem with poop-resolve carpet cleaner all the way </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/puke-smell-on-straps#post-2395142 Sun, 20 Dec 2015 17:05:21 +0000 Bao 2395142@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had the lovely experience of LO2 throwing up in the car today, I was able to wash the car seat cover and I tried to wipe down the straps with a few different things but they still stink. Any tips for getting puke smell out of car seat straps? </p>
