When life hands you chocolate, you don't have to settle for a stained parka. With right approach, you can easily clean off the chocolate without damaging your parka.

Step 1: Scrape Excess Chocolate Off

The first step is to take a dull knife or spoon and gently scrape away any excess chocolate from the fabric. Do this carefully, so as not to harm the fabric. If the chocolate is still quite moist, you may want to let it sit and dry out a bit before attempting this step.

Step 2: Apply a Stain Remover

Once the excess chocolate has been removed, the next step is to apply a stain remover. You can either use a commercial product designed for this purpose, or you can make your own by mixing one tablespoon of white vinegar with two cups of warm water. Soak a cotton ball or cloth with the stain remover, then apply it to the chocolate stain. Allow it to sit on the stain for at least 10 minutes.

Step 3: Hand Wash the Parka

Fill up a clean sink or basin with warm water and add a small amount of laundry detergent. Submerge the parka and allow it to soak for 15-20 minutes. Use a soft brush or sponge to gently scrub away any remaining stain. Rinse off the parka thoroughly and allow it to air dry.

Step 4: Machine Wash the Parka

If the stain persists, you can try machine washing the parka. Place it in the machine with a gentle detergent, set cycle to delicate, and select cold water. Once the washing cycle is complete, hang the parka up to air dry. Do not place it in dryer.

Conclusion

Cleaning chocolate stains from a parka is actually quite simple if you know the proper steps. Follow these tips and you can have your parka looking as good as new in no time!
