What You'll Need
- A few drops of liquid laundry detergent
- White vinegar
- Old toothbrush or a soft-bristled brush
- Clean cloths
Step 1: Blot or Scrape Off Excess Mustard
Start by using a dry cloth to blot the flip-flop to remove as much of the mustard as possible. If there is any residue left on the flip-flop, scrape it off using a butter knife.
Step 2: Create a Cleaning Solution
Next, create a cleaning solution by combining a few drops of liquid laundry detergent with a cup of warm water. Stir until detergent is dissolved. Alternatively, you can also use white vinegar instead of laundry detergent. Add one tablespoon of white vinegar in a cup of water.
Step 3: Soak the Flip-Flop
Once you create the cleaning solution, soak flip-flop in it for 10 minutes. This will help loosen and remove the mustard stain.
Step 4: Brush Away the Stain
After the flip-flop has soaked in the cleaning solution, take it out and scrub away the stain with an old toothbrush or a soft-bristled brush. Be sure to use gentle circular motions to avoid damaging the surface.
Step 5: Rinse and Dry
Finally, rinse the flip-flop with cold water and then dry it with a clean cloth. Once completely dry, your flip-flops should look as good as new.
