What You’ll Need
- A towel
- Cold water
- Liquid soap or detergent
- Soft-bristled brush
- Baking soda
Step 1: Blot Area with a Towel
Grab a towel and press it firmly against vomit stain on your boots. This will help remove as much of the vomit as possible. Do not rub the stain as this could spread it further. Repeat the blotting process until no more liquid is absorbed by the towel.
Step 2: Rinse the Area with Cold Water
Once you have removed as much vomit as possible, it is time to rinse the area with cold water. Start by filling a bowl with cold water and dipping a cloth into it. Gently squeeze the water over the affected area and use the damp cloth to remove any residual vomit from the boots.
Step 3: Apply Soap or Detergent
Next, apply a small amount of liquid soap or detergent to a cloth and rub it gently over the stain. Make sure you do not use too much soap or detergent as this could damage the leather. Focus on gently scrubbing away the residue while adding a bit more of the soap or detergent.
Step 4: Scrub with a Soft-Bristled Brush
Grab a soft-bristled brush and use it to scrub the vomit stain in a circular motion. The bristles will help lift away any residue that may be left behind. Be sure to keep your movements gentle, so as not to damage leather.
Step 5: Rinse Again and Let It Air Dry
Once you have finished scrubbing, rinse the area with cold water one more time and then let your boots air dry. After the boots are completely dry, you can apply a leather conditioner to restore their original softness.
Bonus Step: Apply Baking Soda
If the stain persists after the above steps, try sprinkling some baking soda over the affected area. Leave it to sit for 15-20 minutes and then vacuum it up. This should help absorb any remaining stains.
Conclusion
Vomit stains on your boots can be a real nuisance, but with a few easy steps, you can remove them with ease. Simply start by blotting the area with a towel, rinsing with cold water, applying soap or detergent, and scrubbing with a soft-bristled brush. If the stain persists, sprinkle some baking soda and then vacuum it up. Now you can get back to enjoying your favorite pair of boots!
