Sorry to hear about your son! I hope he gets better quickly. As for the sheets, you will want to get vomit stains out as soon as possible! Immediately scrape off the excess, and thoroughly rinse the affected area with cold water

FROM HERE, IF YOUR STAINED ITEM IS WHITE:

1. Wash in the hottest water recommended on the care label using detergent and ⅓ cup Clorox® Disinfecting Bleach.

2. Air dry the item and check to make sure the stain is completely removed. If stain remains, repeat steps above.
