Step-by-Step Guide to Rid Your Cotton Piqué of Vomit Stains
- Before anything else, first make sure that the affected area is dry. If vomit is still present and wet, use paper towels to absorb as much of it as possible.
- Once the majority of vomit has been soaked up or blotted off, mix one cup of cold water with one tablespoon of laundry detergent.
- Dip a white cloth into the soapy mixture and work it into the vomit stain.
- Once stain is completely saturated in the soapy water, rinse the area with cold water.
- If the vomit stain persists, mix one part vinegar and two parts cold water. Soak the area with vinegar solution.
- Once you have blotted the area and treated it with the vinegar solution, use a laundry detergent stain remover to scrub area.
- Once the stain has been removed, rinse the area thoroughly with cold water to make sure all cleaning solution has been removed.
- Allow area to air dry or pat it dry with a clean white cloth.
Tips for Removing Vomit Stains from Cotton Piqué
- Always remember to treat stain as soon as possible. The faster you take action, the easier it will be to remove the stain.
- When dealing with tough vomit stains, it can be helpful to pre-treat the fabric before laundering. Apply a laundry pretreatment solution to the stain and allow it to sit for 30 minutes before laundering.
- White vinegar is a natural cleaning agent that can help break down proteins and combat odors.
- Never use hot water to clean a vomit stain. Hot water can set the stain, making it almost impossible to remove.
