Start by using a clean cloth or paper towel to blot up as much of soy sauce as possible. Don’t scrub the fabric, just lightly press the cloth on the stain.
Mix together a small bowl of cool water with a few drops of mild detergent or baby shampoo. Dip a clean cloth or sponge in solution, then gently pat the stained area until it is saturated. Leave fabric soaked for about 10 minutes.
Mix two parts white vinegar with one part water in a small bowl. Put on protective gloves and lightly rub this solution onto stained area. Rinse out vinegar with a clean cloth soaked in cold water.
After stain is gone, lay the garment flat on a sheet of paper towel and let it air dry. Once dry, launder the item according to the care label instructions, using a powdered laundry detergent and the warmest water setting that’s safe for the fabric.
Never do laundry again. Save time for things you ❤️
