Soy sauce is an ingredient commonly used in Asian cuisine. It gives a pleasant flavor to the dish and can be used in many ways. Unfortunately, it is very color-intensive and leaves dark soy sauce stains on fabric. And it’s easy to spill, since it is mostly sold in small-mouth packages that need to be shaken to get soy sauce out.
We have put together for you some methods that can help you remove soy sauce stains.

The home remedies for soy sauce stains on upholstery chairs also help you against stains on other textiles, such as on the tablecloth or carpet.

Soy sauce is one of the stain types that glycerin can be used against. Rub the soy sauce stain with liquid glycerin and leave it on for about half an hour. After that, rinse the soy sauce stain with cold water and wash the clothes with a suitable detergent.
Acidic products, such as lemon juice or vinegar are also recommended home remedies for soy sauce stains. Use fresh lemon juice, a concentrate, or diluted vinegar. Put some on the stain and let the liquid soak in. Then rinse your clothes with water and wash them according to the manufacturer’s label. For more delicate fabrics or smaller soy sauce stains, you can apply the liquid to a cloth or cotton ball and blot the stain rather than pouring directly onto clothing.
Gall soap also works as a home remedy for soy sauce stains. They are available in solid and liquid form. If you have opted for the liquid variant, then dampen the stain on the clothing and put some gall soap directly on it. Rub it in gently and leave it on for a few minutes. After that, you can rinse out the soap. For solid gall soap, you can rub the soap on a damp cloth and use this cloth to gently rub the soy sauce stain on your fabric.
