Start by taking off any excess chocolate residue that is visible. Use a spoon or butter knife to carefully scrape top layer of chocolate away from the shoe. Make sure to be gentle and to not scratch the material.
After removing the excess chocolate, grab a damp cloth and apply a spot cleaner or stain remover to the affected area. Work in small circles to blend the cleaner in with material and attempt to separate it from the fabric. Some of the more common stain removers are vinegar and baking soda.
Once you've applied the spot cleaner, take a cloth dampened with cold water and blot over the area. This will help to rinse away the stain remover and any of the remaining chocolate residue.
After rinsing, hang the shoes up to air dry. Do not place them in the washing machine as this could damage the material. Allow the shoes to dry for 12-24 hours before wearing again.
Never do laundry again. Save time for things you ❤️
