You can do this with a clean white cloth or a paper towel.

Carefully blot the wet ketchup (don’t rub the carpet) starting from the outside and working your way inwards.Repeat until there’s no more ketchup coming away on the cloth or paper towel..

vacuum cleaner with a HEPA filter.The larger a vacuum cleaner’s dust capacity, the more debris it can hold before needing to be emptied.

Capacities range from around 0.5 litres for cordless vacuums, up to 8 litres for large bagged cylinder vacuums.. A small capacity may not be an issue in a small home with light soiling.But small canisters can quickly become a nightmare when cleaning big homes with lots of hair, dirt, and dust.
