Preparation Steps
- Start by collecting the necessary cleaning supplies. You'll need a bucket, rubber gloves, cold water, laundry detergent, white vinegar, and paper towels.
- Put on the rubber gloves. This step is important, as vomit can contain bacteria that can cause infection.
- If the vomit stain is fresh, you'll want to remove as much of it as possible with a paper towel.
- Fill the bucket with cold water and add 1/4 cup of laundry detergent and 1/4 cup of white vinegar. Mix together until detergent is completely dissolved.
Cleaning Steps
- Submerge thong in the solution, making sure entire area is covered. Let the thong soak for 10 minutes.
- Gently rub the affected area with your fingers to loosen stain.
- Rinse the thong in cold water to remove any residue.
- Dry the thong with a paper towel. If desired, air dry the thong on a hanger or drying rack.
Additional Tips:
- For tougher stains, mix together equal parts white vinegar and water. Soak thong in this solution for 20-30 minutes before attempting to scrub the stain.
- Always check the garment label to determine the best way to wash the thong.
