Step 1: Treat the Stain Immediately

The sooner you treat your stain, the better. Blot stain with a paper towel as soon as possible, pressing gently to remove any excess liquid. Do not rub the stain, as this could spread it further. If there are still chunks of solid chocolate on the Dashiki, gently scrape them off with a spoon or butter knife.

Step 2: Apply a Stain Remover

Choose a stain remover specifically designed to remove chocolate stains. It will usually contain an enzyme that helps break down the stain molecules. Apply the stain remover directly to stained area, making sure to read product's label and follow the instructions carefully.

Step 3: Rinse with Cold Water

Rinse the stain remover out of the fabric. Use cold water for best results, as heat could cause the stain to set in further. Repeat the rinsing process until the water runs clear.

Step 4: Wash Normal Cycle

Pop the Dashiki into the washing machine, then set it to its normal cycle. Avoid using hot water, as it could cause stain to become permanent. Check the stain before putting the item into the dryer - if it remains, repeat the process until fully removed.

Conclusion

Removing chocolate stains from Dashiki is not impossible. All you need is right products and a bit of patience. With these steps, you'll be able to keep your Dashiki looking good as new.
