Removing dried vomit from paper wallpaper can be tricky, but it’s doable with care. Here’s a step-by-step approach:
Gather Supplies: You’ll need gloves, a soft cloth or sponge, mild dish soap, warm water, and possibly a soft-bristled brush. If available, a wallpaper cleaner can also be helpful.
Prepare a Cleaning Solution: Mix a few drops of mild dish soap with warm water in a bowl.
Gently Scrape off Excess: If there are hardened bits of vomit, gently scrape them off with a plastic scraper or your fingernail, being careful not to damage the wallpaper.
Moisten the Area: Dampen a soft cloth or sponge with the soapy water solution (make sure it’s not too wet to avoid soaking the wallpaper).
Blot the Stain: Gently blot the stained area, working from the outside in to avoid spreading the stain further. Do not rub vigorously, as this can damage the wallpaper.
Rinse with Clean Water: After treating the stain, use another cloth dampened with clean water to blot away the soapy residue, being careful not to soak the wallpaper.
Dry the Area: Use a dry cloth to blot up any excess moisture. Ensure the area dries completely to prevent mold or mildew. You can also use a fan to speed up the drying process.
Repeat if Necessary: If the stain persists, repeat the steps or consider using a wallpaper cleaner according to its instructions.
If the stain is particularly stubborn or the wallpaper is delicate, you might want to consult a professional cleaner. Good luck!
