Instructions
- Blot the stain with a damp cloth to absorb as much of the chocolate as possible.
- Mix one teaspoon of liquid dishwashing detergent and one cup of cool water.
- Dab the stain with the detergent solution and blot with a clean cloth.
- If the stain persists, mix two tablespoons of white vinegar with two cups of warm water and dab the stain with the solution.
- Allow the stained fabric to sit for up to 30 minutes before rinsing with cool water.
- Apply laundry pre-treatment spray (if available), and then launder item according to the care instructions on the garment.
- Check to see if the stain is fully removed before drying in the dryer.
- If stain remains after laundering, soak the tshirt in a mixture of oxygen-based bleach and cool water for about half an hour.
Tips:
- Always ensure that the fabric care label allows for the use of water, detergent or bleach before treating a stain.
- Test the detergent solution on a small, hidden patch of the garment to ensure that it doesn't cause discoloration.
- Never use hot water on chocolate or chocolate containing products as it will cause chocolate to set and become more difficult to remove.
