Step 1: Blot the Stain

The first step is to blot the stain with a dry, white cloth. This will help remove the excess ketchup before you move on to the next steps.

Step 2: Rinse the Stain with Cold Water

Next, rinse the stain with cold water. This will help loosen the stain and prepare it to be treated.

Step 3: Treat the Stain with a Mild Detergent

Mix a small amount of mild detergent, such as dishwashing liquid, with water. Use a soft-bristled brush to gently scrub the stain with the detergent solution.

Step 4: Blot Stain again with White Cloth

Rinse the stained area with cool water and then blot it dry with a white cloth. This will help to remove any residue or remaining detergent.

Step 5: Pretreat the Stain

Spray the stain with a stain pre-treatment product. Allow the product to sit on the fabric for the recommended amount of time, usually 10 to 15 minutes.

Step 6: Wash the One-Piece in a Cold Water Cycle

Put the one-piece in the washing machine and wash it with cold water on a gentle cycle. Make sure to turn the one-piece inside out to protect the color.

Step 7: Hang Dry the One-Piece

Once cycle is complete, hang the one-piece up to air dry. Avoid using a dryer, as this could potentially set the stain into the fabric.
