1. Scrape off Excess Chocolate
Start by carefully removing any excess chocolate with the dull edge of a knife. Do not scrub fabric as you might damage it.
2. Blot the Stain
Gently blot the area with a dry cloth, avoiding to rub the fabric as much as possible. Be careful to only dab and never rub or scrub.
3. Use Soap & Water
Mix a tablespoon of mild detergent in a cup of warm water and dip a cloth in the solution. Gently dab the affected area with the cloth in a circular motion, working from the outside of the stain towards the center. Rinse the cloth in clean water and repeat this process with a clean area of the cloth until the stain is no longer visible.
4. Apply Vinegar & Water
Mix one teaspoon of white vinegar in a cup of cold water. Dab the stained area with a cloth soaked in this solution. Rinse the cloth in clean water after each dab. Repeat the process until the stain is gone.
5. Place in Washing Machine
After using the above methods, launder your sundress in the washing machine as usual. If the stain persists, repeat one of the methods described above and try again.
