Scrape away as much as possible. For washable materials, rub lard or Vaseline into stain or treat dry fabric with a laundry pre-soak (spot stain remover). Wash in a quality Laundry powder or Liquid. On unwashable materials, such stains are difficult. Treat repeatedly with dry cleaning fluid, continuously changing the pad and the sponging cloth. Finish with a sponging of lukewarm water and synthetic detergent, then warm water to rinse. If contaminated with metal particles, an iron stain my remain.

Baby powder. Put a fair amount on, leave it on overnight and then vaccuum it off the next day. If it's a big stain you may have to do it more than once. Don't use water! If you have make sure it's dry before putting the powder on or it will just get pasty! This works for clothes too!

If it's leather with a shiny or matte finish (not fuzzy), you can try a mild solution of Murphy's Oil Soap or get yourself some saddle soap. Test it on a part of the sofa that isn't highly visible first to make sure it won't pull up any of the dye. There are also leather furniture wipes on the market now which may be of use.

If it's a suede (fuzzy) type leather, you're probably going to be better off calling a professional furniture cleaner. Suede is easy to ruin and requires dry cleaning.

If the garment has not been laundered yet, try this: rub some talcum powder into the item and let sit for a couple of hours. The talcum will absorb the oil, or at least most of it. Then wash in warm water with detergent, but check to see if the stain came out before drying it. If the stain did not come out yet, apply some stain pre-treatment to it, and let sit for a day or so, then launder as usual.

Rub corn starch or talcum powder on the stain immediately until it is absorbed.

What you can do is get some computer paper, or a paper bag and iron over the top of it. It will eventually all absorb into the paper. Get more paper if it gets too wet....

How do you clean vomit off of a leather sofa?

I found a solution that cleaned 2 year old vomit from my leather couch, from a similar situation of a child being sick. Buy foaming Saddle Soap from an equestrian store. This will clean the leather down to the source of the smell (in my case I had tried several remedies including Nature's Miracle, Febreeze, and other items to clean/mask the smell). The Saddle Soap brand I used was Fiebings. Then I put A LOT of fresh unused baking soda on the leather and rubbed it in (don't use the stuff that has been sitting in your refrigerator). Vacuum up the excess. This will kill the smell about 50% and open any barrier that keeps the leather from getting wet. After the leather dries for a day or two, make a water and baking soda "batter" and rub it on the leather. The solution will soak in, so you'll see the leather darken from being wet. Let this dry a bit and just use a vacuum brush to remove the dried baking soda. After rubbing off any excess baking soda, let the leather dry, then treat the leather with appropriate leather conditioner for your couch. I used Lexol Conditioning Wipes which I also found at the equestrian store. I can't believe I finally have a couch that I don't have to hide or wrap in blankets. This has changed the color a little of the leather, but I think it is better than having a couch that reeks or having to resort to buying a new one.
