The best way to start tackling chocolate stains from a polo shirt is by running warm water over the stain. Make sure to get the water as hot as possible without scalding your skin. Once the water has warmed up, add in a drop of mild detergent. Gently rub detergent into the stained area with your fingers and let it sit for several minutes. Afterward, rinse the detergent off with warm water.
If the first method doesn't do the trick, you should try white vinegar and hydrogen peroxide. You'll need to mix equal parts of both into a bowl, then use a cloth or brush to apply the mixture to chocolate stain. Let it sit for 15 minutes before rinsing the mixture off with warm water. Again, make sure to get the water as hot as possible without scalding yourself.
For more stubborn chocolate stains, try using baking soda and water. Simply mix a tablespoon of baking soda with a cup of warm water. Apply mixture to the chocolate stain and let it sit for an hour. Afterward, rinse the baking soda off with warm water and dry with a towel. Repeat this process if necessary, but remember to always use warm water.
