How to Solve Tomato / Ketchup Stains with Shout®
Shout® Advanced Set-In Stain Scrubber is the best product for this type of stain, but our other products will work as your next-best option.
Follow these steps to clean tomato / ketchup stains with Shout®
Step 1.
Check the label. Make sure your garment is colorfast washable and says nothing about being “dry-clean only.” If the item meets both of those requirements, you’re ready for Step 2.
Step 2.
Pretreat the stain with Shout® Advanced Set-In Stain Scrubber, or one of the other recommended products. Be sure to rub it in for deep penetration.
Step 3a.
(CHOOSE ONE) Show some patience, but not too much. You should only wait 1-5 minutes before washing in the warmest water your item recommends. Waiting any longer could mean putting your colors at risk, especially when using Shout® Advanced Set-In Stain Scrubber on bright, khaki, or fluorescent colored clothes.
Step 3b.
(CHOOSE ONE) If the stain is too set-in, use Shout® Triple-Acting so you can let the product set overnight or longer before washing.
Shout® pro tips:
- If some stain remains and the garment is bleachable, re-launder with bleach and detergent
- If your item is made of delicate fabric, try not to rub too hard
- If you’re on the go, portability is what makes Shout® Wipe & Go the best product for this type of stain
