Before attempting to remove the gravy stain, pre-treat it with detergent and an old toothbrush. Use a circular motion to work the detergent into the fibers of fabric. Leave the detergent to sit for five minutes, or longer if necessary, to break down the grease in the gravy.
Once the pre-treatment has had time to work, fill a sink with warm water and add a few drops of detergent. Soak the flip flops in the water for 10 minutes, then use the toothbrush to scrub stained areas and work the detergent into the fabric.
If the gravy stains are still present after washing, apply hydrogen peroxide directly to the stained area. Allow the hydrogen peroxide to sit for five minutes before rinsing off with water. Then, launder flip flops as usual.
When the flip flops are clean and free from gravy stains, lay them flat on a towel and let them air dry completely before wearing.
