Removing Ketchup Stains from Cotton Twill
- Scrape off any excess ketchup with a spoon. Be careful not to rub the stain, as this could push the ketchup deeper into the fabric.
- Blot stain with paper towels to absorb as much ketchup as possible.
- If the ketchup is still visible, apply a drop of dish detergent directly onto the affected area and use your fingertips to gently rub it into the material.
- Rinse the area thoroughly by blots with cold water.
- Apply a few drops of botanical enzyme cleaner to the stain and allow it to sit for 10-15 minutes.
- Rinse the area thoroughly with cold water.
- Mix equal parts mineral spirits and white vinegar, then blot onto the stain.
- Rinse the area with clean water.
- If the stain is still visible, lightly dab a small amount of rubbing alcohol onto it.
- Rinse with clean water until the stain is completely gone.
Remember that when you are removing ketchup stains from any fabric, you should never use hot water. This could set stain and make it more difficult to remove.
