The first step to removing a ketchup stain from cotton canvas is to pre-treat the stain before laundering. To do this, mix one tablespoon of white vinegar with one tablespoon of laundry detergent in a bucket or bowl. Next, dip the cloth into the mixture and gently rub it onto stained area.
Once the pre-treatment is complete, it’s time to soak the item. Fill the bucket or bowl with lukewarm water and add a capful of detergent. Submerge stained portion of the item and let it soak for up to four hours.
After the item has soaked, it’s time to launder it. Run the item through the washer on a light cycle with warm water and a mild detergent. Once it’s done, check the stain. If it’s still visible, repeat steps 1-3 until it’s gone.
It’s important not to put item in the dryer until the stain is completely removed, as the heat will set any remaining stain into the fabric. Instead, hang the item up to air dry and inspect it when it’s finished.
Never do laundry again. Save time for things you ❤️
