Cleaning Fresh Stains

• 1). Scoop up the vomit with a paper towel and throw it away. Blot the area with a dry paper towel to soak up as much vomit as possible.
  
  
• 2). Scrub the area with water and a mild detergent or use a product specifically made for pet messes. Saturate the area and allow the soap or cleanser to penetrate the stain for a few minutes.
  
  
• 3). Blot up the water with a paper towel to remove the remaining vomit stain. Repeat if any yellow color remains.
  
  
• 4). Rinse the area to remove residual soap or chemicals, then blot dry. Avoid stepping or sitting in the area until completely dry.
  
  

Removing Set-in Stains

• 1). Brush the area with a scrubbing brush to loosen the stain. Vacuum the area to remove all of the solid particles that have become loose.
  
  
• 2). Apply water and detergent or a cleaning solution to the stain and allow it to soak for at least 10 minutes.
  
  
• 3). Scrub the area to remove the set-in vomit. Blot up the water and repeat the process until the stain is completely removed. Rinse the area with clean water and blot dry.
  
  
• 4). Steam clean the area or hire a professional for stains that you cannot remove. Set-in stains are much harder to remove than fresh ones.
