Start by rinsing affected area with cool water. This can help remove any excess chocolate and prevent it from drying onto the fabric. Then, using a clean cloth or paper towel, gently blot the stain.
Next, take some detergent or pre-treater and apply it directly to stain. Work it in with your fingers or an old toothbrush to ensure it works its way deep into fabric. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes before washing.
Once the detergent has had a chance to work, throw the shirt into the wash. Be sure to check the washing instructions on your shirt to decide which cycle is best. Make sure to use cold water, as hot water can set stain further.
Once the cycle is complete, transfer the shirt to the dryer and dry on low heat. When finished, take it out and check for any lingering chocolate stains. If necessary, repeat steps 2-4 until the stain is gone.
If the above steps don't remove the stain, you may need to take it to a professional cleaner. Additionally, you should always test any cleaning product on a hidden area of the fabric first to make sure it won't cause any damage.
