I think by 'Neat' the person means 'undiluted.'

This is too little and lame. You can read that on a detergent bottle. Need better than this.

Out of desperation I tried the milk in the wash. I had chocolate and caramel all over my very expensive white sheets, and it had plenty of time to set in. I didn't think anything would work, so I tried the milk out of desperation. I actually thought it might be a joke, but still I dumped a half gallon of expired milk into the wash (if anyone saw I was sure to go the the funny farm). I sprayed stain remover where I could, set the water on hot and added detergent. I expected that if it worked I'd still find traces of the chocolate, but my sheets came out whiter than white. I was very impressed.

A light colored cola (7Up, Sprite, Mountain Dew or soda water) will remove chocolate stains. Just pour it on the chocolate stain and rub - repeating until the stain is gone. Then launder as usual.

Soak the stain with milk. It doesn't require a lot, just enough to thoroughly saturate the stain. It also doesn't require a certain amount of time to soak. You can even dump the milk on it as you're putting it into the wash machine. Wash as usual. Once, for a particularly dirty load, I dumped a half gallon of recently expired milk right into the washer. All of the chocolate stains came right out.
