Comming up to a No-Chemical Cleaner Challenge

Our beloved dog has terminal cancer, which lately has made him throw up about once a week. Bright yellow puke on our off-white carpet, that stains no matter how soon we discover it. As of now the dog seems to be feel OK, and we are treating the symptoms, so living with a puking dog is status quo for a few more weeks still.

Which means that our carpet cleaner machine and our usage of spot remover has gone into overload. I have managed to use a simple solution of soap and vinegar in the machine, and it seems to work well for most purposes. I admit, that with the bright yellow dog puke polka-doting our house I have been using a decent amount of carpet-spot cleaner. I think I may try some sort of homemade version of a spot cleaner, but I bet that FM will run out and purchase a bulk supply of spot cleaner soon.

This one may prove to be a bit of a challenge.
