Step 1: Prepare the Stain Removal Solution
Mix 1 tablespoon of liquid dishwashing detergent and one teaspoon of white vinegar into two cups of warm water. Test solution on an inconspicuous area of the garment to make sure it won't damage the fabric.
Step 2: Sponge the Stain with Stain Removal Solution
Using a clean white cloth, sponge the stain with the stain removal solution. Keep sponging until the stain begins to disappear. Rinse the area with cold running water to remove the solution and any remaining stain.
Step 3: Apply a Stain Remover
If the stain is still visible, use a commercial-grade spot remover or pre-wash stain remover. Follow the instructions on the package for how to apply the stain remover. Generally, you'll apply the cleaner to the stain, let it sit for a few minutes and then rinse thoroughly.
Bonus Tip: Laundering the Garment
Once all traces of the vomit stain have been removed, launder the garment according to the manufacturer's instructions. This will help ensure that the stain doesn't reappear after washing.
