What You Will Need
- White vinegar
- Baking soda
- Cold water
- Soft cloths
- Enzyme detergent
Step 1: Blot the Stain
First, you'll want to blot the vomit stain with a soft cloth. If possible, avoid rubbing or scrubbing the stain, as this could cause further damage to fabric.
Step 2: Soak with White Vinegar
Next, pour some white vinegar on the stain and let it sit for a few minutes. This will help break down the proteins that make up the vomit stain.
Step 3: Rinse with Cold Water
Once you've allowed the vinegar to sit for a few minutes, rinse off the formalwear with cold water. Be sure to rinse thoroughly in order to remove any traces of vinegar left behind.
Step 4: Apply Baking Soda/Enzyme Detergent Mixture
Next, mix equal parts baking soda and enzyme detergent and apply it to the vomit stain. Allow mixture to sit for at least 15 minutes, then rinse with cold water.
Step 5: Wash Garment as Usual
Finally, wash the garment as you normally would. Once the garment is finished, double-check the stain to ensure it is completely gone.
Conclusion
Using this step-by-step guide, you can easily and quickly remove vomit stains from your formalwear. With a little patience and perseverance, you can have your formalwear looking like new again!
