Schools typically use a variety of cleaning supplies to clean up vomit, including:
- Disinfectant wipes: These are convenient and effective for quickly cleaning up spills and messes.
- Bleach solution: A diluted bleach solution is a powerful disinfectant that can kill bacteria and viruses.
- Paper towels: Paper towels are used to absorb the vomit and help dry the area.
- Mop and bucket: A mop and bucket are used to clean larger areas and can be filled with a disinfectant solution.
- Gloves: Disposable gloves are essential for protecting the hands from contact with vomit.
Schools also use specific vomit removal kits that contain all the necessary supplies for cleaning up vomit safely and effectively.
These kits often include:
- Disinfectant spray
- Paper towels
- Gloves

Schools should have a clear and consistent protocol for cleaning up vomit to ensure the safety of students and staff.
