Soy sauce. Tips to remove Soy sauce stains on carpets
If you have found a soy stain in your carpeting, wet or dry, use these tips to work out the soy stain for a clean carpet area. While the soy is still wet, work on blotting up the soy using paper towels or clothes. Keep blotting until you have gotten all the liquid up that you possibly can without rubbing the carpet. Using a spray bottle, use ammonia. Spray this all over the area where the soy is without making the carpeting too soaking wet because the ammonia will break down your padding under the carpeting. Continue blotting up the wetness as you spray it so you are lifting the stain as you are blotting it. Using fresh or clean paper towels as you continue spraying will tell you if more of the stain is working its way up. Another solution that you can use to get soy out is to use your spray bottle and add clear bleach free dish liquid. Just about two tablespoons of detergent and three cups of water is going to give you a good cleaning solution that you can spray on the area, then continue blotting to bring up the soy. You will need to ‘rinse’ the area by spraying with just cool water after using the soapy water and blot this up as well to remove the detergent from the carpet. If you find that you still have a bit of a trace of soy in your carpeting, you can use your spray bottle with peroxide. Spraying this on the stain and letting it sit for a bit and then blotting up you will remove any remnants of the stain. If when cleaning the carpeting it is really wet, use your shop vac and concentrate on one area until you have brought up a lot of the liquid. Blotting and vacuuming without pushing the stain further into the carpeting will give you great success in getting out soy stain.
