Step 1: Gather the Materials

You’ll need: one cup of cold water; a teaspoon of liquid detergent; a clean white cloth; a few drops of white vinegar; a non-abrasive absorbent material, such as a paper towel or a soft cloth; and a clean sponge.

Step 2: Dab the Stain with Cold Water

Using the dampened cloth, dab the stain with cold water, repeating motion until the stain is no longer visible. Be sure not to scrub or rub the area, as this may damage the fabric.

Step 3: Treat the Stain with a Detergent and Vinegar Solution

Mix the liquid detergent and vinegar together in a small bowl. Test the solution on an inconspicuous part of the fabric first for colorfastness. If the color doesn't change, go ahead and apply it to stain. Blot it away with a clean cloth.

Step 4: Use an Absorbent Material

Place an absorbent material, such as a paper towel or a soft cloth, over the stained area. Gently press down to absorb any remaining moisture. Once the material has absorbed all the moisture, repeat steps two and three.

Step 5: Rinse the Garment

Rinse the garment in cold water, then hang it to dry. When it's dry, inspect the area for any remaining stains.

Conclusion

With a few simple steps, you can get rid of stubborn soy sauce stains from your sarong quickly and easily. So don’t worry if you spill soy sauce on your favorite garment. Follow the steps outlined above, and you’ll have it looking like new in no time!
