Paul,

Vomit contains among other things hydrochloric acid from the stomach which may cause colour change .

It would also contain whatever the baby had recently eaten which as my youngest is 19 , I can't remember that far back!

In short there is no easy cure and possibly no cure at all.

Cheers

Doug

First you need to use an enzime digester to remove the majority of the stain one problem you have to tell the customer is that using a supermarket product may contain soap which unless rinsed properly will keep making a dark stain as dirt sticks to it. With the red product I have had good success with prochems Red Rx
