Your 5-step guide to remove a tomato juice stain from carpet

In the UK, the average person eats 6oz of fresh tomatoes each week. This is the equivalent of two classic British tomatoes!

Tomatoes are a great source of vitamins A, C, E and B6. They also contain minerals such as potassium, which is great for lowering blood pressure, and calcium which is vital for strong bones and teeth.

Whether you get your fix through vine tomatoes, pasta sauce or tomato juice, spilling tomato on your carpet can leave an ugly red stain. From Bolognese sauce to ketchup, tomato sauce is one of those foods that can get everywhere!

If you have a tomato spill, don’t panic. Here’s how to remove a tomato juice stain from carpet.

  1. Blot the area with kitchen towel to absorb any excess liquid, such as ketchup, juice or sauce
  2. Apply 1001 Troubleshooter and wait for a maximum of 5 minutes.
  3. Massage the product into the tomato-stained area.
  4. Remove any excess liquid with a dry cloth.
  5. Leave the area to dry, then vacuum.

All 1001 products are safe for children and pets, and as they are WoolSafe approved they are also suitable for wool carpet cleaning.
