The first thing you should do is to make sure that chocolate only stained the top layer of the mule’s fabric. Use a soft cloth or a knife to scrape off any chunks of chocolate that are still attached. Once you have removed any excess chocolate, pre-treat the area with detergent. To do this, mix laundry detergent with some cold water and gently rub the mixture onto the stain. This will help to loosen and lift any remaining stains.
Once you have finished pre-treating the stain, it’s time to put the mules in the machine. Make sure to check the garment’s label, and select the proper washing cycle and temperature. If you are able to, use a cleaning cycle that has been specifically designed for delicate garments. Add some laundry detergent to the machine and let it run. Once the machine has finished running, check if the stain has been completely removed and if not, repeat the pre-treating and washing steps and adjust the temperature if necessary.
If stain is still present after a few washing cycles, then you may need to try a different method. Create a mixture of white vinegar and water and use a sponge to dab the solution directly onto chocolate stain. Once the solution has been applied, let it sit for a few minutes and then rinse out the liquid with cold water. If the stain persists, you can repeat this step several times until stain is removed.
Chocolate stains can be tricky to remove from your mules, but with correct techniques, you can easily remove stain without damaging the fabric or the embellishments. Use laundry detergent to pre-treat the area, follow the instructions on the garment label when washing in the machine, and use a mixture of white vinegar and water to remove any remaining stains. Following these steps should help to make your favorite mules look like new.
