How to wash ketchup

Ketchup, like other tomato sauces, contains natural red pigments. It is because of them that it is difficult to remove stains from the sauce - the natural substance eats into the fibers of the fabric and is securely fixed there.

Removing a fresh stain is not difficult, you just need to remove the remaining sauce with a napkin, and then rinse the underside of the item with cold water. Next, you need a standard wash using a powder and mode suitable for the type of fabric.

Old stains will require soaking in a stain remover solution. It is advisable to first apply it to the stain, and only after half an hour throw the item into a bowl with the prepared solution.

Attention! Under no circumstances should you use boiling water to soak clothes with tomato stains, because this will only cause the pigment to become more deeply embedded in the fibers, and it will be impossible to remove the stain without harming the fabric.

Washing with salt

Surprisingly, ordinary table salt will not only help refresh summer items made from cotton and linen fabrics, but will also preserve their presentation for a long time even after frequent washing and rinsing. After all, as you know, the main problem with bright blouses bought for the summer is that every now and then you have to wash them just because of the smell of sweat and city dust, and not because of any serious dirt. Due to these frequent washings, they fade very quickly, and the fabric loses its properties. Salt helps solve all these problems.

When washing with table salt, it is important to maintain the proportions: dilute strictly one heaped tablespoon of salt per liter of warm water, and only then can you soak and wash things in the resulting solution.

This method of washing will save money on the purchase of powder and new clothes, and will also not harm the skin of your hands and the environment.
