It really should be me saying that because my family knows how often I spill things on my shirts but this time it’s Truett that purposely got to smear his shirt with ketchup for another test of Wisk’s Stain Spectrum detergent. You can probably imagine how fun this was for him but also how hesitant he was since he’s taught to not spill things on his shirt.
We started off by cooking hamburgers using our cool patty press because we knew this experiment would work up an appetite! Aren’t the patties pretty? I loved this thing!
We then had Truett put his shirt on to get the ketchup smeared in nice and deep into the fibers! He even used the basting brush to really rub it in. He thought that was funny and was like, “huh? You want me to paint on my shirt?” lol
He’s looking a bit evil in this last photo don’t you think?? I don’t know but I see BWUAHHAHHAHHAHAHA…….
We got the stain in good, now we needed to get it out! Our instructions were to pour some Wisk Stain Spectrum on the ketchup stain, let sit for a couple of minutes, then wash out.
I washed under our faucet so that you could see the stain disappearing and that it did!
VERY impressed! Ketchup is very hard to get out and thisndidnt have any problems at all! I probably washed and rinsed for 3-4 minutes max and you can see nice again how well it works!
And just in case you want to know, this stain, along with BBQ sauce and fudge brownies are considered carbohydrate stains. On the sheets Wisk has been sending us, there are several different types of stains which I thought I was interesting. For example:
- Bio Stains- Blood and Body Soil
- Synthetic Stains- Watercolor Paints
- Oil Stains- Peanut Butter, Ranch Dressing, Olive Oil
- Bleachable Stains- Fruit Punch, Orange Juice, Worcesterershire Sauce, Beets
- Particulate Stains- Dirt, Baseball Clay
- Protein Stains- Grass, Eggs, Baby Formula
It was fun because while doing the experiment, I was asking my older kids if they knew what would be classified under each category. And then Truett got to hear us talking all the nerd talk so now it’s in his brain.
Anyways, the whole experiment was a blast to do. Truett had so much fun and I had so much fun. I just really enjoy doing these experiments that Wisk has created for us and can’t wait for number three! I’d say that Wisk’s Stain Spectrum is doing its job, wouldn’t you agree?
If you’re just tuning in, you can see the Wisk ‘Ring Around the Collar‘ commercial first, then check out my mad little scientist, then print yourself a $1 0ff coupon and give it a try yourself!

Truett is getting big & he really seems to relish his job as a Wisk little scientist! :) Lori, I visit here primarily because I love your pictures but I’m really amazed at the job Wisk is doing handling those tough stains & appreciate the info you’ve provided about stains. Perhaps it’s time for me to put Wisk to the test here in Boston! Thank you for this great review series!
How cute your little guy is! It looks like I see new countertops under there, will you show us the before and after pictures of the kitchen? Long Live Cowboys!
I was so shocked that it got it all out too! I thought it would be a lot more work. Love your photos!
I ended up getting a Wisk sample in the mail, and you’re right. It was great on getting ketsup stains out.
LOL! I feel like such a fool. I cooked the burgers IN THE PRESS and then it got too oily and took them out and put them right on the grill. I didn’t know what to do with that Lori!! I should have asked you first – OH MY!!!! :)
Wow! What a cute little man! He must have really enjoyed painting on his shirt.=) Good thing there’s Wisk! I can’t believe how fast he rids of the stain. It’s truly a must-have in the kitchen!
This is really unbelievable! I’ll go and try it for myself. My baby boy would love this. :)
What have you done?? It’s so amazing! I can’t believe it all washed out just like that. I once had my shirt stained by ketchup and I had a hard time washing it. Was it something to do with your detergent?
Maybe your kid loves to be a painter when he grows up. He’s so cute and funny!
I’m thinking how much is that detergent soap? I would love to grab some and try it by myself. I’ll stain my shirt too! *laugh. Just kidding! But reading and looking at this post, it looks like it is so effective than any other detergents out there.
Is that detergent also effective to oil and ink stains?? My kids used to play all day long and they’re messing up with their shirts. They play whatever they want to. So I’m looking for the best detergent to use for their clothes.
It’s a sweet and funny mother-son bonding moment! And talking about wisk, I haven’t tried it yet but soon I will. I heard it many times from other moms, I just don’t have much time going into supermarkets to grab one. I think it’s good and effective.
