1. Steps to Remove Chocolate Stains from Clothes
Chocolate stains are notorious for clinging to fabric due to their high fat content. No matter how many times you launder, those stubborn dark brown spots linger. Especially with melted chocolate, if not promptly and properly treated, it can emit an unpleasant sour odor. Follow these steps to effectively clean chocolate stains from your garments:
- Blast Chill Method: Place the garment in the freezer for 15 - 20 minutes to solidify the chocolate stain, preventing it from spreading further.
- Gentle Scraping: Use a blunt knife to gently scrape off the chocolate residue. Avoid pressing or rubbing to prevent smudging. If the chocolate persists, repeat the blast chill method for an additional 10 - 15 minutes and continue scraping until the stain becomes faint.
