With the right supplies and helpful tips, you can quickly and effectively remove vomit stains from your child's toys.
Things You'll Need:
- Borax

- Liquid laundry detergent
- Soft cloth
Steps for Cleaning Vomit Stains from Toys
- First, remove any excess vomit from toy. If the toy is machine washable, you can put it in the washing machine on a short delicate cycle and cold water. If the toy isn't able to be machine washed, use a damp towel to gently remove the vomit.
- Once excess vomit has been removed, mix together a solution of 1/2 cup Borax, 1/2 cup white vinegar, and 3 cups warm water. Dip a soft cloth into the solution and gently dab onto vomit-stained area until stain is gone.
- If the vomit stain is still visible after using the Borax-vinegar mixture, mix together a solution of 1 tablespoon liquid laundry detergent and 3 cups warm water. Use a soft cloth to dab solution onto the stained area until the stain is completely gone.
- Once all of the vomit stain is gone, rinse the toy in cold water and pat dry with a towel. Let it air dry before returning it to your child.
Tips:
- It may take several applications of the Borax-vinegar mixture and detergent solution to completely remove the vomit stain.
- Always read the label on toy to make sure it is safe to use Borax, vinegar, or detergent on it.
- Be sure to air dry the toy completely before returning it to your child.
