What You'll Need

Paper towels or cloth rags
White vinegar
Baking soda
Detergent for colorfast fabrics
Laundry stain remover (optional)

Step 1: Blot Up Excess Fluids

To start, grab some paper towels or an old rag and begin blotting up any excess fluid on the fabric. Apply gentle pressure and continue blotting until you have removed as much as possible. Do not rub the fabric, as this can spread stain.

Step 2: Soak in White Vinegar and Water Solution

Create a solution with one tablespoon of white vinegar to one cup of water and mix thoroughly. Submerge the stained area of the fabric into solution, and let it sit for 10-15 minutes before blotting. If stain has been set for some time, you may need to repeat the soaking process.

Step 3: Create a Baking Soda Paste

In a bowl, create a paste with three parts baking soda and one part water. Once the paste is fully mixed, apply directly onto the stained area. Let paste sit for 20 minutes, then brush off excess with a damp cloth.

Step 4: Wash Using Detergent

Using a detergent specifically designed for color-fast fabrics, wash the fabric as you usually would in the washing machine. Once done, make sure to hang dry fabric. Do not place it into the dryer, as this may set the stain in even further.

Step 5: Use a Stain Remover (Optional)

If you still notice the stain after drying, use a laundry stain remover spray to help get rid of it. Spray the solution onto the fabric and let it sit for at least 15 minutes before washing again. Repeat the process until the stain is completely gone.

Conclusion

By following these steps, you should be able to get rid of vomit stains from your tussah fabric. Remember to always check that your detergent is color-fast before washing and to test any solution on a small part of the fabric first.
