What Causes Soy Sauce Stains?
Soy sauce stains can occur when soy sauce splatters onto clothing, especially light-colored fabrics like cotton lawn. The stains are caused by proteins in the sauce that can bond with the fibers in the fabric.
What You’ll Need
- Liquid laundry detergent
- White vinegar
- Rubbing alcohol
- Soft brush or cloth
Step-by-Step Guide
- Mix a solution of one part liquid laundry detergent and two parts white vinegar.
- Apply the solution onto the stain, working it into the fabric with a soft brush or cloth.
- Let solution sit on the fabric for 15 minutes.
- Rinse the area with cold water.
- If any stain remains, apply rubbing alcohol to the affected area and allow it to sit for five minutes.
- Use a clean, soft cloth or brush to gently scrub the stain. Rinse the area again with cold water.
Tips and Tricks
- Always test any cleaning product on a hidden part of the fabric to make sure it won't discolor or damage the fabric.
- Blot, don't rub, any stain as this will help prevent it from spreading.
- For tough stains, you may need to repeat these steps several times.
