Steps to Remove Ketchup
- As soon as the stain is noticed, swipe it off with a damp cloth.
- Mix 1 part dishwashing liquid with 4 parts warm water. Use a clean cloth to dab the solution onto the stain.
- Gently scrub the soiled area using your fingertips or a soft scrub brush. Do not press too hard or you may damage the delicate fabric.
- Rinse the area thoroughly with warm water then lay the item flat to dry.
Alternative Methods
- Create a paste by mixing together equal parts baking soda and warm water. Apply the paste to the stain and gently rub the fabric. Then rinse the item with cold water.
- A mixture of white vinegar and warm water can also help lift the stain. Soak affected area in the solution for 15 minutes then rinse with cold water.
Be Careful
When cleaning delicate lingerie, it's important that you only use gentle detergents and cleaning solutions. Avoid using bleach or strong chemical cleaners, as these might damage the fabric. Always read the manufacturer's instructions before attempting to clean any kind of delicate clothing.
