 Topic: Is there anything I can do ..?
Posted: 26 August 2008 at 1:51pm |
Help please!
So typical  I bought a really nice top the other week, wore it once and got chocolate on it! I've washed it a couple of times but there's still a mark
Any bright ideas?

I swear by Sard Wonder Soap, but according to a book of cleaning tips given to me by my MIL (do you think she was trying to say something?!) the thing for chocolate stains is ordinary old dishwashing liquid - rub it into the stain, leave it for 10 mins then rinse it out and wash the top as per normal.

Thanks weegee! Will give the dishwashing liquid a go today and if that doesn't work I'll try and find some Sard.
LOL that your MIL gave you a book of cleaning tips!

Also running hot water through the stain as most stains are oil based (even food) and therefore won't move without hot water. Good luck!

Is Sard soap, Sunlight soap? Because Sunlight soap moves any stain. Rub the cake of soap on the stain/mark and then chuck in a normal wash.
