How to Clean Up Vomit

It’s never fun to throw up in a public place, but it’s even less enjoyable to have to clean up a random person’s vomit. Employees from any organization have had to do it one time or another. Whether it is a school, restaurant, doctor’s office, or retail store, when someone vomits in public, it usually becomes the responsibility of an unwilling employee to clean the mess. Our vomit cleanup kit efficiently and effectively assists in the cleaning and sanitizing of an area that has been thrown up on.

Cleaning up Vomit with Household Items

If you do not have access to a vomit cleanup kit the following items can be used to assist in cleaning up the mess:

  1. Paper towel – Start with a paper towel to absorb liquid and to remove any solid waste.
  2. Baking Soda – Sprinkle baking soda on the remaining liquid area and let it sit for about 15 minutes.
  3. Dishwashing soap and white vinegar – if the mess happens to take place on a carpet, you can make a cleaning solution by mixing one tablespoon of soap, one tablespoon of white vinegar, and two cups of warm water. Use a clean cloth to blot the mixture onto the carpet until the liquid is absorbed. Then, use a sponge with cold water and blot dry to remove the soap and vinegar solution.
