Chocolate is a very tasty treat that can leave a very nasty stain. Chocolate stains are common and can be removed with a little persistance. Whether it is a light smudge or a ground in stain these simple steps can help you remove the stains easily.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Papertowel
• Powdered detergent
• Warm water
• Bowl
• Washing machine

1. Remove any loose chocolate from the garment to prepare the fabric for washing. Take a papertowel and lightly dab the affected area to remove some of the stain. Set the garment aside.

2. Take some detergent and place it in a bowl. The detergent needs to be in the powder form. Add little amounts of warm water to the detergent to form a paste. Once a paste is formed take a small amount and place it on the chocolate stain. Lightly rub the paste onto the stain so it can penetrate the fabric. Let the fabric sit for about five to ten minutes.

3. Place the garment into the washer and wash normally. After washing check the garment for the chocolate stain. If the stain is gone proceed with drying. If the stain is not removed repeat step 2 and try washing again. If the stain is not removed after the second try consider contacting your local dry cleaner.
