Removing Vomit Stain from Bodycon Dress
- Start by scraping off any leftover chunks of vomit. Remove as much as possible before attempting to tackle stain.
- Create a cleaning solution by mixing one cup of cold water with one teaspoon of dishwashing liquid. Stir until the solution is sudsy.
- Apply a small amount of the cleaning solution to the affected area. Use a damp cloth or sponge and gently dab at the stain. Don't scrub too hard or you could damage fabric.
- Continue to apply the solution and dab gently until the stain begins to fade. Change the cleaning solution as needed.
- Once the stain is gone, rinse the area with cold water. Blot the fabric with a clean cloth to remove any excess moisture.
- Allow the fabric to air dry or use a blow dryer set to the lowest heat setting.
Using Other Methods to Remove Vomit Stains
In addition to above method, you can also try:
- Using a mild bleach solution - This method should only be used if your bodycon dress is white. Mix one tablespoon of bleach with two cups of cold water, then apply to the stain with a cloth and allow to soak for 15 minutes. Be sure to read the care label on your dress before trying this method.
- Using a vinegar solution - Vinegar is a natural stain remover and can be used to fight stubborn stains. Combine one tablespoon of white vinegar with two cups of cold water, then apply to the affected area with a cloth. Allow to soak for 10 minutes, then rinse with cold water and blot dry.
Tips for Preventing Vomit Stains
To help prevent vomit stains on clothes in future, keep these tips in mind:
- Carry extra clothes wherever you go. It might be a good idea to store a spare outfit in your car or bag, just in case of emergencies.
- Always wear protective gear. If someone near you tends to vomit, wear a plastic raincoat or scarf around your neck to protect your outfit.
- Spot-treat immediately. If a vomit stain occurs, treat it as soon as possible with a cleaning solution. Letting the stain sit will make it harder to remove later.
