Unfortunately, situations in which a piece of chocolate cake falls on a clean and ironed shirt occur with enviable regularity.
This is why it is so important to know which methods will help remove chocolate stains from white or colored clothes.
Important: Since the dessert contains cocoa butter and tannins, you should start washing as soon as possible.
How to remove a chocolate stain
The most effective method for removing chocolate stains from clothing is to use laundry soap.
To forget about the trouble, you need to thoroughly treat the contaminated area with soap and leave the product to soak in warm water for several hours.
You can also use a good stain remover or dishwashing liquid, but before doing this, you need to test the fabric for resistance to aggressive detergents so as not to damage delicate materials.
What to do with delicate fabrics
If you want to remove a stain from a delicate fabric, blot the excess chocolate with a clean, dry cloth and sprinkle baking soda on the stain. Using a damp sponge, begin making gentle strokes on the stain, moving from the center outward.
Apply stain remover to the chocolate stain (a drop is enough) and immediately place a damp cotton pad on top. Periodically wet the pad with water and change it until the stain disappears.
After this, rinse and dry the product by placing it on a horizontal surface in a well-ventilated area.
