Step 1: Blot the Stain to Absorb Excess Moisture

Using a cloth or paper towel, gently blot the stained area to absorb as much of excess moisture as possible.

Step 2: Stir Up a Solution

Mix one teaspoon of a mild detergent with two cups of water. If you're using a dish soap, make sure it doesn't contain bleach or any other harsh chemicals.

Step 3: Apply the Solution to the Stain

Using a clean cloth, soak it in the solution and apply it to the stained areas. Gently rub the cloth in a circular motion until all of the stain is gone.

Step 4: Rinse and Blot the Area

Rinse the area with cold water and then blot it with a cloth. As you blot, the chocolate should become less and less visible.

Step 5: Let the Area Dry

Use a fan or air dryer to help the area dry quickly. You may also want to consider investing in a stain-resistant spray to prevent future spills.

Additional Tips

Be careful not to rub stained area too hard, as this could damage the fabric.
If you're dealing with a particularly stubborn stain, you can use a small amount of rubbing alcohol.
If the stain is still visible after following above steps, you may need to consult a professional dry cleaner.
