Step 1: Blot the Stain Immediatly

The most important step in removing any type of stain from clothing is to act quickly—as soon as you notice the stain, grab an absorbent cloth or paper towel and dab the area gently and repeatedly. This will help to absorb as much of the liquid as possible before it sets.

Step 2: Apply Cold Water

Run cold water through the backside of the fabric, which will help to draw the stain out from the fibers of the fabric. If the stain is especially stubborn, you may need to apply a small amount of dish soap or laundry detergent.

Step 3: Let Soak

Once you've applied the soap or detergent, allow fabric to soak in the cold water for 10-15 minutes. Once the time has passed, rinse the item with cold water until the suds have been washed away. If necessary, repeat this process to lift the remainder of the stain.

Step 4: Air Dry

Finally, use a clean cloth to press gently against the fabric to absorb any residual moisture, then lay the item flat to air dry. Do not use a clothes dryer as this could cause the stain to set.

Conclusion

By following these simple steps, you can easily and quickly remove ketchup stains from your merino fabric. Remember to act quickly and gently dab the area until the stain has been lifted.
