Steps to Clean Vomit Stains from Cardigan
- Scrape off any large chunks of vomit with a spoon or spatula.
- Mix a few drops of laundry detergent in a small bowl of cool water.
- Dampen a white cloth or paper towel in solution, then squeeze out the excess liquid.
- Blot the stain with the wet cloth. Do not rub or scrub the stain, as this can cause further damage to the fabric.
- If the stain persists, add a few drops of oxygen bleach to the solution and repeat the blotting process with a fresh cloth.
- Once stain is gone, spray the area with cold water to rinse it well.
- Allow the cardigan to air dry before putting it in the washing machine.
Tips for Success

- If stain is still present after a few attempts at cleaning, take the cardigan to a professional cleaner.
- Always read and follow the care label on the cardigan.
