Gathering Your Supplies

You'll need a few supplies before you begin cleaning your vomit-stained canvas.

  • Old towels
  • Baking soda
  • White vinegar
  • Laundry detergent
  • Clean sponge
  • Plastic bag or shower cap

Directions

  1. Using an old towel, remove as much of the vomit as possible.
  2. Sprinkle the area with baking soda, and cover it with either a plastic bag or a shower cap to contain the mess.
  3. Leave the baking soda and covering in place for at least 24 hours. This will help absorb any remaining moisture.
  4. Remove the covering and the baking soda, and launder the canvas item in hot water with laundry detergent.
  5. If any visible stains remain, mix a solution of 1/2 cup white vinegar and 2 liters of hot water. Using a clean sponge, sponge stain and leave it to sit for several minutes before rinsing off the vinegar solution.
  6. Air dry canvas item or machine dry on low heat.
