Soy sauce is a common condiment found in many households, and when it meets an unsuspecting suede item, it can leave behind a difficult to remove stain. Luckily, removing residue of soy sauce from your favorite suede garments does not require harsh chemicals or expensive products. Here are some steps to take to clean the stain and make your suede item look as good as new again.

Steps to Removing Soy Sauce Stains from Suede

  • First, rub the stained suede in a circular motion with a soft-bristle brush. This should help to loosen dried soy sauce residue.
  • Next, prepare a mixture of one part water to one part white vinegar. Dip a clean cloth into mixture and dab it onto the affected area.
  • Gently rub the stained area with the cloth using circular motions. Don't rub too harshly in order not to damage the suede's texture.
  • If the stain is still present, use a solution of detergent and warm water to apply to the area. Rub the stain gently for a few minutes, then wipe off with a damp cloth.
  • Allow suede item to air dry flat. Alternatively, you can also use a blow dryer on cool setting to speed up drying process.

Repeat the above steps until the soy sauce stain is completely removed. If the stain is particularly stubborn, take the item to a leather cleaning specialist at your local dry cleaner to see if they can help.

Preventing Future Soy Sauce Stains

To avoid future soy sauce stains from happening again, spray suede items with a waterproof protectant made specifically for suede products. This will offer a layer of protection and decrease the chances of your suede clothes becoming stained again. Additionally, make sure to handle food carefully when wearing suede clothing and don’t eat over your suede items, as even a single drop of soy sauce can cause an unsightly stain.

Conclusion

Removing soy sauce stains from suede is possible. Be sure to act quickly if you spill anything on your suede items, and follow these tips to help remove the stain from the fabric. With proper care and maintenance, you'll be able to keep your favorite suede clothing looking like new for years to come!
