The Basics

Before attempting to clean any stain, it's important to identify the fabric your pumps are made from and read the care instructions. For instance, some fabrics cannot be machine washed, so handwashing is your only option. Additionally, stay away from harsh chemicals when dealing with delicate fabrics.

Step by Step Cleaning Instructions

  • Scrape off excess chocolate with a spoon or butter knife.
  • Make a cleaning solution of 1 part white vinegar and 2 parts warm water.
  • Dip a clean, soft cloth in the solution and blot at the stain.
  • If the stain persists, use a stain remover specifically designed for delicate fabrics.
  • Once the stain is gone, flush the area with cool water.
  • Allow pumps to air dry.

Preventing Future Chocolate Stains

While these steps will help remove existing chocolate stains from your pumps, it's best to take preventive measures to make sure future messes don't happen. Try to avoid wearing your pumps around food, and if you must do so, carry a utility bag for quick cleanup.
