How to Remove Ketchup From Carpet

Ketchup is full of sugar and tomatoes which can cause fairly potent stains on carpet.

The best way to remove ketchup from carpet is as follows:

• Using a knife, scrape up the excess ketchup. Do this as quickly as possible.

• Try to keep the stain isolated to where it fell. You really don’t want to make the stain bigger.

• Using a cloth, gently rub in a carpet shampoo. You should see a nice lather over the stain.

• Using a damp cloth, wipe away the lather. Use a dry sponge or cloth to dry out the area.

• If a stain remains, you can try using a dry cleaning solvent.
