Soy sauce is a staple in many dishes and can be difficult to avoid if you’re a fan of Asian cuisine. Unfortunately, soy sauce is also notorious for leaving behind stubborn stains, particularly on fabrics such as abayas.

If soy sauce has made its way onto your abaya, fear not. By following these simple steps, you will be able to remove the stain without damaging your garment.

What You'll Need:

  • Dish soap
  • Baking soda
  • A white cloth
  • Towel
  • Laundry detergent

Step-by-Step Guide:

  1. Apply a generous amount of dish soap directly onto soiled area of the abaya.
  2. Gently blot the stained area with a white cloth. Avoid rubbing the fabric, as this could spread stain.
  3. Sprinkle baking soda onto the stain and leave it to sit for 10 minutes.
  4. Lightly dampen a towel with cold water and use it to remove the mixture of soap and baking soda from the abaya.
  5. Apply laundry detergent directly onto the stain and gently rub it in. Be sure to use a mild detergent so as not to cause any damage.
  6. Allow the garment to soak in cold water for about 30 minutes.
  7. Rinse the abaya in cold water until the soap is completely gone.
  8. Wash the abaya in the washing machine using the delicate cycle and cold water.
  9. Hang the garment up to dry. Do not machine dry the abaya, as this could set stain.

Following these steps should help to successfully remove soy sauce stain from your abaya. However, if the stain remains after following these instructions, it's best to take your abaya to dry cleaners - they have professional tools and techniques to get rid of the most stubborn of stains.
