One thing to think about when washing vomit towels is that if it has chunks, they may get stuck in the washing machine.

Make sure the bag doesn’t have any holes in it so you don’t get vomit on your hands.

Don’t use a spatula that has slits in it. The vomit will fall through if you do. Disinfect the spoon or spatula after you clean the vomit.

Towels can result in vomit pressed into the carpet. [3] X Research source Sliding flat objects, like spatulas, cardboard, or scrapers, under the vomit might help prevent this.

If the vomit doesn’t have a lot of thick chunks to begin with, try spreading baking soda over the area and leaving overnight. The baking soda will soak into it and turn it into clumps. [4] X Research source Use the tube to vacuum up the clumps instead of the regular vacuum head.

When you blot, put some force into it to get out the water. Press down hard; just remember not to scrub. Use white towels so you don’t transfer any patterns or dyes to your carpet. Instead of a rag, you could also use paper towels.

After you have soaked up most of the vinegar, use a stiff brush to rub at the stain until it starts to loosen. Go back over the stain with a dry cloth again. You can also add 6 drops purification essential oil to help cover the odor, and 8 drops thieves essential oil, which is thought to kill 99% of germs. You can use white or apple cider vinegar for this. Don’t scrub with the cloth. Don’t overspray the area. You want to cover the stain, but not soak the carpet.

Pour water over the spot afterwards to rinse the area of the soap. It’s important to rinse the soap from the carpet because soap can hold dirt and dust.

Make sure to rinse the area after the stain is removed. Cover the area in water, then blot up with a towel. Do this two or three times.

Don’t use ammonia if you have pets. It might attract them to the spot and encourage them to urinate there. [7] X Research source

Don’t hold the iron in one place - it could scorch or burn the towel. Instead, gently slide the iron back and forth over the area where the stain is. Never iron carpet directly. Always put a towel between the carpet and the iron. Otherwise, you might burn or scorch your carpet.

Let the baking soda sit overnight, then vacuum the next day. It will also help absorb any left over moisture.
