What You Will Need
- A dab of liquid soap
- A toothbrush
- A damp cloth
- An old toothbrush
Step 1: Dab Liquid Soap Onto the Stain
Take a few drops of liquid soap and gently dab it onto the stained area. Try not to use too much as this could make the stain worse. Allow the soap to sit on stain for a few minutes before moving on to the next step.
Step 2: Scrub the Stain with a Toothbrush
Using an old toothbrush, gently scrub the stained area. Be sure to go in small circles to ensure that the soap is worked into the fabric fibres. This will help to lift the stain from the fabric.
Step 3: Rinse with a Damp Cloth
Once you have finished scrubbing stained area, rinse it off with a damp cloth. This will help to remove any residual soap and should also help to lighten stain.
Step 4: Repeat if Necessary
If the ketchup stain still remains, repeat steps 1-3 until stain has been removed. If necessary, try using a stronger cleaning solution such as white vinegar or baking soda.
Conclusion
Ketchup stains can be a real pain, but with the right technique they don't have to ruin your day. With just a few simple steps you can have your barrette looking as good as new in no time. Good luck!
