The first step to cleaning chocolate stains from your wedges is to remove any excess chocolate. Use a spoon or the edge of a butter knife to scrape off as much of the chocolate as possible. Make sure to be gentle so you don’t damage the wedges.
Next, make a cleaning solution using a mixture of warm water and dish soap. Dip a cloth in the solution, then wring out any excess liquid. Gently blot the stained area with the damp cloth to start lifting the chocolate.
If the stain remains after blotting with the cleaning solution, use a stain remover specifically formulated for removing chocolate stains. Apply the stain remover directly to the stained area, then use a cloth to rub it into the stain. Let the stain remover sit for several minutes before rinsing off with cold water.
After using a stain remover, it’s important to rinse off the wedges with cold water. This will help prevent the stain from setting and make your wedges look as good as new.
Finally, let the wedges air dry, away from direct sunlight. Doing this will help ensure that the wedges are completely free of any chocolate residue.
Cleaning chocolate stains from your favorite wedge sneakers doesn’t have to be a chore. With these five steps, you can quickly get rid of any chocolate stains and keep your wedges looking their best.
