Step 1: Use Detergent and Hot Water

When you notice a chocolate stain on your bottoms, the first thing you should do is try to remove it with detergent and hot water. Try to pre-treat the stain with the detergent, and then launder your bottoms in the hottest water possible on a regular cycle.

Step 2: Don't Dry Your Bottoms Just Yet

Don't dry your bottoms after washing. Check the stain to see if it has faded. If not, proceed to the next step.

Step 3: Apply Dish Soap

If the stain persists, the next thing you should try is applying some dish soap directly onto stain. Let the soap sit and soak into the fabric for a few minutes, and then scrub gently using an old toothbrush. Rinse with hot water.

Step 4: Try Bleach Substitutes

If the stain still won't come out, you can try using some bleach alternatives like hydrogen peroxide or baking soda. Make a paste by mixing the ingredient with water and apply it directly to the stain. Let it sit for up to 20 minutes, and then rinse with hot water.

Step 5: Launder Again On A Hot Cycle

Once all treatments have been applied, launder your bottoms again in the hottest water possible on a regular cycle. Check for any remaining stains before drying your bottoms.
