No Fun: How to Get Vomit Stains Out of Shearling

Vomit stains are never fun to deal with, and they can be especially challenging when they appear on shearling, a delicately tanned combination of leather and sheep fur. Her we'll look at how you can get rid of those pesky vomit stains from your shearling fabrics.

What You'll Need

• Clean cloths
• Baking soda
• Vinegar
• Mild laundry detergent
• Leather or suede cleaner

Step 1: Blot and Soak Up the Stain

Use a clean cloth to blot and absorb as much of the vomit as possible. If the vomit has dried, use a damp cloth and gently rub away the stain.

Step 2: Clean the Stain with Baking Soda Solution

Mix some baking soda and water to create a paste-like mixture. Apply this mixture directly onto the area with stain, and let soak for 10-15 minutes. Then, use a clean damp rag to wipe off baking solution.

Step 3: Spray White Vinegar

Mix equal parts white vinegar and water in a spray bottle. Spray the stained area and let it sit for 10 minutes before blotting it up with a clean cloth.

Step 4: Wash with Detergent

If the stain persists, treat it with a mild laundry detergent. Work the detergent into the stain using a wet cloth and rinse with warm water. Let it air dry.

Step 5: Treat with Leather or Suede Cleaner

If the stain has not gone away after washing with detergent, treat the fabric with a specialized leather or suede cleaner according to the instructions provided.

Additional Tips

• If the fabric is not colorfast, test the cleaning agent in an inconspicuous spot first.
• Do not use bleach or abrasive cleaners.
• Shearling fabrics should always be dried naturally. Avoid drying them in direct sunlight or near a heat source.
