Fast food is one of the favourite foods and many people prefer it to others. We use ketchup in most fast foods. Of course, it has happened to all of us that while eating different fast foods, tomato sauce has been spilled on your clothes and tomato sauce stains have remained on them.

In the previous section, we taught practical tips about this. In this part, we will teach you other information for removing tomato paste and ketchup stains from clothes.

Removing tomato stains from plastic

When we put cooked food in a plastic container to keep it in the refrigerator or freezer, food-coloured stains remain on it. Some people also pour tomato paste into a plastic container and put it in the freezer to prevent it from becoming mouldy. Use the following method to remove paste stains or foods cooked with tomatoes from plastic containers:

• Mix baking soda and water to form a paste.
• Using a toothbrush or your fingers, apply the paste to the entire dish.
• Allow standing overnight until morning.
• Then wipe the dried dough with water and wash the dish.

Removing tomato stains from the carpet or bedding

One of the places that can be contaminated with tomato sauce or tomato-containing foods is carpets and bedding. They can’t be washed easily and with plenty of water, so you should use a different and special way to clean them.

• If you spill tomato paste or ketchup on the carpet, immediately remove it with the help of a knife or spoon. Don’t use a cloth or sponge to do this as it will push the stain into the depth of the carpet. Never rub it to clean the sauce, as it makes the stain larger.
• Take a clean white towel or cloth and press inward from the outer edges of the stain so that the colour doesn’t spread to other parts, making the stain smaller.
• Mix 1 teaspoon of detergent for very dirty clothes with 2 cups of cold water. Using a toothbrush, apply the liquid to the stain and leave it for 10 minutes.
• Apply a clean, damp cloth to the stain to remove it.
• Allow the carpet to dry with normal airflow.
• If the stain is very strong, mix 1 teaspoon of bleach and 1 cup of water. Then pour it on the stain. After 1 minute wipe it with a damp towel. You shouldn’t forget that bleach can damage the carpet and damage it, so use it with caution. It’s better to leave strong stain removal to the carpet cleaner.

Leather sofas and clothes are the most sensitive surfaces to cleaners. If you stain them, they’re difficult to clean. So if the next time you eat a sandwich and pour a little ketchup on your leather jacket or sofa, use the following method to remove them.

• Mix a little cold water with a few drops of dishwashing liquid to foam.
• Collect the foam with a sponge and apply it to the stain.
• Wipe the floors with a clean damp cloth.
