The first step is to quickly get rid of as much sauce as possible by wiping it off with a damp cloth. Make sure to use a soft, clean cloth and avoid using too much water or rubbing too hard as this could cause damage to the material.
For more persistent stains, mix a few drops of mild soap with some warm water in a bowl and stir until it forms a sudsy solution. Use a soft cloth to dab the suds onto the stain and leave for 5 minutes. Once again, take care not to rub too hard as it could damage the fabric.
After you've wiped away as much of the suds as possible, pour a little white vinegar onto the stain and let it sit for 10 minutes. Then dab the stain with a clean cloth dipped in warm water. Keep repeating this process until the stain has completely disappeared.
Once you're happy that the stain has been removed, rinse the area with cold water and allow it to air dry before wearing flip flops again.
