Unhappy Scorched

We had the grass cut quite short for a BBQ and the kids were amusing themselves blowing bubbles with soapy water.......on a area of the grass.

Few days go by, the weather is warm and I assume the scorch marks are the grass drying out (I forgot they had been playing there), until I hosed it and had a lovely bubble bath.

I watered it a lot and brushed as much soap off the grass, but it still looks in a pretty poor state.

Is it likely to come back by keeping watering, or is something more drastic required?

Keep watering. It'll be back. You can actually water gardens with "grey
water", the runoff from washing dishes or clothes, but the concentration of
soap is obviously much lower. The stuff the kids were using was more
concentrated.
