Step-by-Step Guide to Removing Vomit Stains From Your Blazer
- Before doing anything else, take the blazer out of its garment bag and lay it flat on a clean surface. Make sure the fabric is free of excess dirt and debris.
- Take a clean white cloth and blot at the stain. Avoid rubbing or scrubbing fabric, as this could cause it to become distorted and damage the fibers.
- Place any other soiled areas under cold running water and blot at the stain. Do not put the entire blazer into the water.
- Create a mixture of one tablespoon of laundry detergent and two cups of cold water. Pour this mixture over the vomit stain.
- Allow the mixture to sit for 10-15 minutes and then rinse with cold water.
- If the vomit stain is still present, create a mixture of one tablespoon of Borax powder and one cup of cold water. Soak the stain in this mixture for 10-15 minutes then rinse with cold water.
- If the stain still remains, mix one part white vinegar with two parts cold water. Soak the stain in this mixture for 10-15 minutes and rinse again.
- If the stain still remains, you can try soaking the blazer in a mixture of cold water and enzyme-based laundry detergent overnight.
- After the stain has been removed, wash the blazer according to manufacturer's instructions. Hang to dry and avoid putting it in the dryer.
