Step 1: Gently Wipe Surface

Once you realise that the ketchup has left its mark, the first step is to take a damp cloth and gently wipe away any visible residue. Don’t scrub too hard as you could potentially damage the surface of the clog.

Step 2: Make a Paste with Baking Soda and Water

Mix baking soda and water together to create a paste. Make sure the consistency is nice and thick, but not too chunky. Spread the paste over the stained area and leave it to sit for 10-15 minutes.

Step 3: Use an Old Toothbrush

Once the paste has had some time to settle, use an old toothbrush to gently scrub away at the stain. The baking soda should have loosened up the ketchup, making it easy to remove from the surface of the shoe.

Step 4: Wash with Light Soap & Water

After the stain has been removed, it’s time to get rid of any remaining residue that may still be present. Gently wash the surface with a light soap and water solution. This should help remove any remaining particles.

Step 5: Let Air Dry

Once the soap and water solution has been used to wash away the remaining particles, let the clog air dry. Avoid using a hair dryer or any other heat source as this could potentially damage the material.

Conclusion

There you have it — five easy steps to help you quickly and efficiently remove ketchup stains from your favourite pair of clogs. Now you can enjoy wearing them without any embarrassing stains.
