Removing Soy Sauce Stains From Overalls

  1. Check the care tag on your overalls for the fabric type. You will want to choose a cleaning method that is safe for the fabric.
  2. Mix one part liquid dish detergent with two parts cold water.
  3. Dip a clean white cloth or sponge in the mixture and gently blot at the stain.
  4. If the stain persists, scrub the area with a toothbrush and the detergent mixture.
  5. Once the stain is gone, rinse the area with cold water.
  6. Let the area air dry, and if necessary repeat steps 3-5 until the stain is completely gone.

Cleaning Difficult Soy Sauce Stains

If the soy sauce stain is particularly stubborn, you may need to use something stronger than just dishwashing detergent. Consider using diluted bleach or a stain-removing product like Shout, Resolve, or OxiClean. Be sure to read the care tag for your overalls first to make sure that the product is safe for the fabric, and always follow instructions on product’s label.

Once the stain is gone, rinse the area with cold water and let it air dry. If neccessary, repeat the steps until the stain is completely gone.

Preventing Stains on Overalls

The best way to make sure that soy sauce doesn’t stain your overalls is to be extra careful when you eat. Wear an apron over your overalls while serving and eating food, and be sure to wipe up any spills as soon as they happen.

You can also consider treating your overalls with a stain-resistant spray like Scotchgard before wearing them. This will help prevent stains from setting in.
