Things You'll Need
- Laundry detergent
- Vinegar
- Cloth
- Dishwashing liquid
- Sink
Instructions
- First, rinse the bandana in cold water, as soon as possible. This will limit the spread of the chocolate and make it easier to clean.
- Fill the sink with warm water and add a few drops of laundry detergent. Mix until it is well combined, then submerge bandana in water for about 10 minutes.
- Once time is up, use a cloth to create a paste with the laundry detergent and water. Rub paste gently into stained area of the bandana and let it sit for a few minutes.
- Rinse the bandana in cold water.
- If stain still remains, mix equal parts of white vinegar and dishwashing liquid and apply it to the stained area.
- Allow the solution to sit on the fabric for about five minutes, then rinse it in cold water.
- Repeat steps if necessary.
- Finally, wash the bandana with similar colors on a gentle cycle in the washing machine.
Tips & Warnings
- Test the cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area first to avoid damaging the fabric.
- Avoid putting the bandana in the dryer, as this can set in the chocolate stain.
- It is recommended to hang dry the bandana after washing.
