How to remove ketchup stains from clothes
To remove ketchup stains from clothes, first use a spoon to scrape off any ketchup residue.

Finally, use Vanish Oxi Action Multi Power Gel to treat the stain using these simple steps:

Leave the product in contact with the stain for 10 mins max.
After pre-treatment, wash as usual or rinse thoroughly.
