Step 1: Blot with a Clean Cloth
The first step is to remove as much of the ketchup as possible. To do so, use a clean white cloth and gently blot at the stain. Don't rub or scrub; this can actually spread the stain further.
Step 2: Make a Detergent Solution
In a bowl, mix together:
- 1 tablespoon of detergent per 1 quart (1 liter) of water
You can also add in a few drops of white vinegar or a teaspoon of ammonia to help fight the stain.
Step 3: Apply the Solution to the Stain
Using either a sponge or cotton swab, lightly apply the detergent solution to the stain, being sure not to scrub or rub it.
Step 4: Rinse with Cool Water
After applying the detergent solution, rinse off the stained area with cold water.
Step 5: Dry with a Towel
Gently pat the area dry with a clean, dry towel. Take care not to rub the stain, or you may wind up spreading it further.
Step 6: Repeat As Needed
If stain isn't completely gone, you can repeat these steps as necessary.
