Step 1: Scrape any Excess

Using a butter knife or spoon, scrape away any excess chocolate that may still be on the fabric.

Step 2: Pre-Treat with Detergent

Apply a pre-treatment solution of laundry detergent and warm water directly to the chocolate stain. Gently rub the detergent into the stain for about a minute. Let the detergent sit for 10 minutes before laundering.

Step 3: Soak and Wash

Fill a basin with warm water and a capful of laundry detergent. Submerge the sleep shirt and allow it to soak for 30 minutes before laundering. Use hottest water setting safe for the garment and select a regular wash cycle.

Step 4: Air Dry

Hang the garment up to air dry and inspect it for the chocolate stain. If it is still present, repeat steps one through three until the stain is gone.
