on 11/17/2007 If you just spilled the chocolate, the HOT water trick works GREAT! I am so glad, because I splashed some hot chocolate on my brand-new white shirt. Now it is good as new, thanks Jeanie!

on 2/12/2007 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.

on 2/12/2007 Remove chocolate stains from clothing? Easy. Use Neat washing-up liquid. I've never had any problem in removing chocolate stains from clothing. I use the same method for removing oil from clothing. When chocolate has set, scrape off the excess using blunt knife or spoon. Place the stain over a clean, soft cloth and pour Neat washing-up liquid (good quality, I use Fairy-liquid) onto the stain - loads of it! Rub the stain gently (I do it with my forefinger) working from the outside of the stain inward, and pushing down gently. The chocolate will be transferred onto the cloth underneath. Make sure to keep moving the cloth to ensure that there is always a clean piece of cloth underneath the stain. Repeat the above steps until no more (or very little) chocolate is transferred onto the cloth, then wet the stained area with warm water and gently rub. Rinse well.
