Your Cherub just stained your couch and his brand new pants with chocolate ?
Quickly a trick to make the stain disappear!
But depending on the type of fabric, removing chocolate is not always easy.
Are you looking for something suitable for cleaning a chocolate stain?
Here are 9 simple tips for removing a chocolate stain depending on the fabric. Watch:
For a stain of melted chocolate on your clothes, here is an unstoppable trick.
Put the stained garment in a plastic bag and put everything in the freezer for at least 1 hour. Take it out of the freezer and scrape the stain gently so as not to damage the fibres.
Run the garment under cold water and apply black soap to the stain and rub. All that remains is to wash it normally in the washing machine.
If the chocolate stain is stubborn, use vinegar. Pour vinegar on a cotton cloth and dab the stain with the vinegar-soaked cloth.
Rinse and machine wash normally. Please note, do not use this method on polyester fabric.
On a white or colorfast fabric, here is the ideal trick.
Freeze the stain for 1 hour as in the first tip and scrape the stain gently so as not to damage the fibers of the fabric.
Make a paste with percarbonate and water. Apply the paste to the leftover stain and leave for a few minutes. Rub and machine wash as normal.
If the stain is on carpet or upholstery, use club soda.
Scrape the stain gently so as not to damage the fabric and pour sparkling water over the rest of the stain. Leave on for a few minutes and rinse.
If the stain is embedded in the carpet or sofa, here's the trick.
Scrape excess chocolate from the stain. Apply a little warm glycerin on it and rub gently. Rinse with lukewarm water and dry with a clean cloth.
Always on a stain encrusted on the carpet or the sofa, think of dishwashing liquid.
Scrape excess chocolate from the stain and pour sparkling water over it. Sponge and mix a teaspoon of washing-up liquid and a teaspoon of white vinegar in 1l of hot water.
Take a clean cloth and apply the mixture to the stain with the cloth. Let dry and vacuum your carpet as usual.
Dissolve a teaspoon of black soap in a bowl of hot water. Lather. Soak a clean cloth with this soapy water. Dab the stain. Rinse and dry.
If the stain is very stubborn, use white vinegar. Soak a cloth in vinegar and vigorously dab the stain with the soaked cloth.
Rinse with clear water and dry.
Attention, for synthetic fibers, dilute the vinegar in water (half / half).
On these delicate materials, there is no question of using just anything.
Take a clean cloth, run it under lukewarm water and wring it out. Gently rub the stain with the damp cloth and dry with another dry cloth.
And There you go ! With these tricks you can remove a chocolate stain from any fabric :-)
