We feel sick writing about this and there truly is no fun way to talk about vomit stain removal. Unfortunately, vomit stains can happen and appear unexpectedly in your home especially with young children, so it’s good to be prepared.

Whether you encounter human or pet vomit stains on carpet, upholstery or clothing, there are at home methods you can try to successfully remove them.

It may be tempting to stay clear of vomit stains when you encounter them. It’s certainly not the most pleasant type of stain to remove, right? Contrary to your natural instinct to run for the hills, the sooner you begin the process of vomit stain removal, the easier it will be to remove. If you leave the stain too long and it dries up, it will be more difficult to get rid of it.

You can use vinegar or lemon juice, before a warm water wash. Make sure all solids are scraped up before washing. A commercial spot removal treatment may also help. Finally, ammonia will remove the last of the stain from your carpet.
