Step 1: Blot & Remove Excess Vomit

The first step is to make sure you get as much of the vomit up as possible. To do this, use a paper towel or other clean, absorbent cloth to gently blot away any excess liquid or solids. If possible, do this right away as soon as you noticed the mishap – the faster you act, the better your chances of getting the stain out.

Step 2: Pretreat the Stain

Once the excess vomit has been removed, it’s time to pretreat the stain. First, mix together a solution of one part liquid dish soap to two parts warm water. Then, apply the solution directly to the stain, rubbing it in gently with your fingers. Once the solution is applied, allow it to sit for several minutes—this will give it time to work its magic.

Step 3: Wash the Stocking

Now that solution has had time to pre-treat the stain, it’s time to wash the stocking. Follow the instructions on label carefully; typically, you can safely put stockings in the washing machine. Don’t forget to add a stain remover to the machine as well—this will help lift the stain from the fabric even further.

Conclusion

Vomit stains on stockings don’t have to mean the end of the world. With a few simple steps and the right materials, it’s possible to get those tough vomit stains out quickly and safely. Just remember to act fast and follow the instructions on the tag—these will help you get the best results.
