Tips for neutralizing vomit odour?

Human vomit. I was sick all afternoon, I cleaned the bathroom after each time I vomited, but there is still some smell.

I feel like I've scrubbed and bleached the heck out of everything.

Update:

Thanks for all the tips. Vinegar and baking soda it shall be.

:)

    Sorry your not feeling well. Rinse it really well. Part of the problem is the smell is in your sinus too. Put a tiny touch of Vick's under your nose to get the smell out. When you have rinsed the area well. Rinse it yet again with white vinegar. When the vinegar dries it will pull the odor. Run the fan open the window. If you have fish steal some of the activated charcoal put it in a sock and toss it in the room. It absorbs odor better then anything... If not if you have a potpourri burner put some vanilla extract and water into the container. Vanilla will also neutralize odor.

    One thing is true. You will get used to it.

    Otherwise spray some white vinegar from a plant mister bottle into the air of the room and leave for 5 minutes. The vinegar smell will disappear and take the other odours with it. Vanilla just hides the odour. Never mix bleach and ammonia together for it will be the "last thing" you will smell.

    Bleach is a dangerous product to use, keep it in the laundry room. take the advice of the answers you have received, minus the use of bleach. Good Luck and I hope you are feeling better.
