The first step to removing a chocolate stain from your broomstick lace is to pre-treat it. Mix one tablespoon of laundry detergent with two tablespoons of white vinegar and stir to combine. Apply the mixture onto spot using a soft bristle brush, being sure to rub it gently into the fabric.
Once pre-treatment is applied, it's time to throw the fabric into washing machine. Use cold water on the delicate cycle and make sure to use a gentle laundry detergent suitable for delicates. Let the cycle run through and check if the stain has been removed after the wash is finished. If not, move on to the next step.
If the chocolate stain is still visible after wash, take a paper towel and blot the spot gently. Make sure not to rub the fabric too hard, as this could damage the delicate material. Blot until spot is as light as possible. Do not use any additional detergents or cleaning agents during this step.
Fill a bowl with cool water and add half a tablespoon of laundry detergent to the water. Place the fabric into the bowl and let it soak for about 10 minutes. After the time is up, take the fabric out and rinse thoroughly under cold running water. Squeeze out any excess water and lay the broomstick lace flat to dry.
Once fabric is dry, inspect area to make sure the stain has been completely removed. If there are still marks visible, you can use a clean cloth dampened with cold water to lightly dab the area. Leave the fabric to air dry one more time, and you're done!
Removing chocolate stains from broomstick lace may seem like a daunting task, but with the correct approach and materials, you can easily make your fabric look as good as new again. Always remember to test any cleaning agent on a small part of the fabric first to make sure it won't harm the material.
