The first step is to gently scrape off any chunks of vomit that may be present. Be sure to use a soft brush and take care not to damage fabric. Once chunks are removed, you can begin tackling the stain.

If the vomit contains acid (such as citrus juices or stomach acid), it may be necessary to pre-treat the stain with an acid neutralizer before attempting to clean it. This will help prevent the stain from setting in too deeply. Follow the instructions on the product packaging for best results.

Once the stain has been treated, the next step is to create a cleaning solution. Fill a bowl with lukewarm water and add a few drops of a mild detergent, such as dish soap. Gently swish the mixture to create suds.

Dip a clean, white cloth into sudsy solution and lightly blot the stained area. Avoid rubbing or scrubbing, as this may cause the fabric to fray or tear. Continue to soak and blot the stain until it fades.

Once the stain has been removed, rinse the area with cold water and dab it dry with a clean towel. Allow the fabric to air dry completely before returning it to its original place.

With proper cleaning, the stain should now be gone from your Venetian lace. You can now enjoy it again with no evidence of unfortunate accident.
