Accidents happen, and when they do you want to take immediate action. If vomit lands on your linen, you need to act fast to get the stains out while they are still fresh.

The first step is to blot up as much of the liquid as possible with a paper towel or a clean cloth rag. Do not rub or scrub the affected area, as this can cause the stain to spread and make it more difficult to remove. Blot the area gently until most of the liquid has been removed.
Sprinkle baking soda over the stained area and let it absorb liquid that is still present. Once done, use a dry cloth to wipe away the baking soda. This will help remove any lingering odor as well.
Mix together one part white vinegar to four parts cold water in a bowl and soak the stained area for 15 minutes. The acidity of the vinegar will break down the stain and make it easier to remove.
After soaking, pretreat the stains with laundry detergent before washing. Work the detergent into the fabric, then rinse with cold water.
Place the linen in the washing machine and select a cold cycle. Allow the item to run through its full cycle, then hang it up to dry. Once linen is completely dry, inspect the area to make sure the stain has been removed.
Never do laundry again. Save time for things you ❤️
