We have all been there. Everything seems to be going well right up until we overzealously squeeze on a ketchup packet a little too hard. Suddenly that happy meal creates a fabric emergency. The bright red blotch stands out uncomfortably on your favourite white dress.

And since you stepped out for a bite to eat, it is unlikely that you brought any detergent with you. But not to worry.

To avoid leaving a permanent mark, merely scrape off excess ketchup (be careful not to dab the sauce into your clothing).

Then head over to the bathroom and run cold water over the stain from behind where it dropped.

Until you get home, taking these simple steps should be enough to prevent the stain from setting in. You may soon toss the dress in the washing machine and voila! Good as new.

These are the sort of tips we will be sharing with you in this infographic. From your dedicated staff over at Love2Laundry, we hope you enjoy these tips. & We look forward to hearing from you.
