How to Remove Chocolate Stains

Dropped pieces of chocolate are a problem once they get warm or if someone sits on them.

On Washable Fabrics

Allow to set, then scrape the dry deposit with a blunt knife. Soak, then launder in enzymatic detergent if suitable; otherwise launder as usual.  For persistent stains, use the treatment for dried tea stains.

On Other Surfaces

Allow to set, then scrape up with a blunt knife.  Apply a lather of carpet shampoo (for both furniture and carpets), rubbing in gently.  Wipe off with damp cloth, and use a liquid stain remover when dry.
