How to Get Ketchup Stain Out of a White Couch
- 1). Create a mixture of distilled water and liquid laundry detergent. The website Pacific Heights Cleaners recommends using 1 part detergent with 5 parts water.
- 2). Use a cloth or similar item to spread the cleaning solution over the ketchup stain on the couch. Tap, don't scrub, when applying the solution to avoid accidentally spreading the stain.
- 3). Saturate the brush in the cleaning solution. Tap the bristles over the stained area of the couch. Wait five to 10 minutes before proceeding.
- 4). Soak a clean cloth in the distilled water. Tap the stained area of the couch with the cloth to rinse off the cleaner.
- 5). Dry the couch by patting down wet areas with a dry cloth. Proceed to step 6 if any stain remains.
- 6). Pour a cup of white distilled vinegar into a bowl or similar container.
- 7). Repeat steps 2 through 5, this time substituting white vinegar for the cleaning solution created in step 1. Dab with a clean cloth as necessary until the entire ketchup stain is removed.
