Removing Fresh Chocolate Stains

If the stain is fresh and still wet, the first step is to gently scoop off as much of melted chocolate as possible with a spoon. Then, saturate the stained area with cold water, which should help to rinse away some of the chocolate.

Next, you will need some lukewarm water and a laundry detergent. Mix these together to create a solution and apply it to the stain. Then, use a clean cloth or cotton ball to gently rub detergent into fabric.

Once the area is covered in detergent, allow the fabric to soak for 15-30 minutes. After that, rinse the detergent out with lukewarm water and let fabric air dry.

Removing Old Chocolate Stains

If the stain is old and set, start by using a spoon or dull knife to scrape off any residue. Then, start by soaking the stained area with a pre-treatment solution or laundry detergent.

Once the area is saturated, allow it to sit for 15-30 minutes. After that, run area through the washing machine with a mild detergent. Once cycle is finished, hang the uniform up to air dry. It is important to check the stain before putting it in the dryer to make sure that the stain is gone.

Tips for Removing Chocolate Stains

  • Make sure to test any pre-treatment solution on an inconspicuous area of the fabric before applying it.
  • Be gentle when rubbing the detergent into the fabric, as it can damage material.
  • Check the care label on your uniform – certain fabrics require a special cleaning solution.
