What You Need
- Cold water
- Gentle dish soap
- White vinegar
- Soft-bristle brush (such as a toothbrush)
- Clean cloth
Step-by-Step Instructions
- As soon as possible, rinse the affected area with cold water to remove the majority of the soy sauce. This will prevent it from soaking into the fabric of your ASICS.
- Create a mixture of gentle dish soap and cold water, then using a clean cloth, lightly dab the cloth into the mixture before pressing it onto the stain. Let it sit for a few minutes, allowing the soap to penetrate the fabric and soak up the soy sauce.
- Take your soft-bristled brush and lightly scrub the area to further loosen soy sauce from fabric.
- With a clean cloth, dab the affected area with white vinegar. The acidic nature of vinegar can help break down soy sauce stain.
- Rinse the area once again with cold water, then pat dry with a clean cloth.
Conclusion
By following these steps, you should be able to easily remove a soy sauce stain from your ASICS. To prevent future stains, consider carrying an extra pair of shoes when eating at a restaurant, or bring a protective shoe cover for times when food is served.
