Steam cleaner and some pet stain spray. Pet stain spray works with enzymes so it "eats" the food bits. It might take a week of maintenance sprays but one good steam clean will get you off to a good start. I rent a cleaner when I need one from either the local supermarket or Home Depot/Lowes.

Nature's Miracle, maybe?

Try taking a shit on the cushions, you won't even notice the barf smell any longer.

I probably went a little overboard trying to be funny.

If the cushions have removeable covers, remove and wash them. Put cushion part in a kiddie pool and stomp with soap, then air dry.

If not, they sell those small hand held bissel cleaners for pets. Works magic!

In the short-term, Febreeze like a mo'fo.

They have covers! I took them off. Not sure if I can machine them, but I put some soap and a ton of water on them. I sponged the bad parts of the cushions and they're drying. I don't have a kiddie pool (nor do I think I could fit one in my house!)

Now he's barfed in his bed :( He was sleeping on his back and didn't wake up until he was mid-barf. I suspect this will be a long night... o.O

Borax.
Powdered borax.
Works on barf smell and on urine smell.
20-mule-team borax, in the laundry aisle.
Sprinkle it on, let it sit overnight, vacuum it up.
You might have to do it twice if it is really rank.

Its not *too* bad. Just a hint. I washed the hell out of them earlier. I will try the borax when they're dry. Thanks for the info!

After four kids and three dogs, I think I have cleaned up every bodily secretion possible.
I swear by borax, pine sol and goop or gojo waterless hand cleaner. There used to also be two terrific Amway products on my list, but they discontinued making both of those.
