Pro tip

Place the wet carpet in a sunny spot (or point a UV lamp at it after cleaning) — sunlight continues breaking down the tomato pigment.

Always check the garment's care label and test any solution on a hidden area first. StainsGone provides general household guidance, not professional textile or restoration advice.
