Soy sauce stains can be pesky and tough to remove from any material - especially if the stain has been there for some time. Fortunately, there are several methods you can try to remove it from your Converse shoes. Here's how:

Step 1: Rinse with Cold Water

Rinsing stain with cold water as soon as possible is first step to getting rid of it. Then, use a damp cloth or paper towel to dab the stain gently. Try to absorb the stain rather than spreading it. Dabbing will help to lift more of the stain from the material.

Step 2: Use a Mild Detergent

Make a solution of mild detergent and lukewarm water, then use a soft brush to scrub the affected area. If necessary, you can also use an old toothbrush for better results. Be sure not to scrub too hard so as not to damage the fabric of the shoes.

Step 3: Let the Area Dry

After you have scrubbed stain thoroughly, let the area dry. You can also use a hairdryer on its lowest setting to speed up the drying process.

Step 4: Spot-test a Mild Cleaner

If the stain still remains after you've dried area, try spot-testing a mild cleaner like rubbing alcohol or white vinegar on a hidden area first. If material is undamaged, apply the cleaner directly onto the stain, let it soak in for a few minutes, then rinse the area with cold water. Repeat this process if necessary.

Step 5: Apply a Stain Remover

If the stain still won't come out, try using a specialized stain remover designed for fabrics. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for application and use. Be sure to let the area completely dry before wearing your shoes.

With these five simple steps, you'll be able to clean soy sauce stains from your Converse shoes and restore their former appearance. Good luck!
