HOW TO REMOVE CHOCOLATE STAINS FROM CARPET
If you see that the chocolate has dried, take a butter knife and scrape off as much as the
chocolate stain as you can.
Vacuum the area to remove any flakes that may remain.
Cover the affected area with a few paper towels.
Set your clothing iron to the lowest, non-steam setting possible. Move the iron over the paper
towels slowly. This should help the chocolate start to stick to the paper towels.
When you're ironing the paper towels, be sure to keep the temperature steady.
Repeat steps 1-5 as necessary until the chocolate stain has disappeared.
If any dark spots remain, apply a household carpet cleaner to the area and scrub vigorously.
This should lift any remaining residue from the carpet.
If the chocolate is wet, scrape off any remaining chocolate residue from the affected area of
the carpet.
Using a paper towel or white clean cloth, use carpet spot remover to try and lift the
chocolate stain.
If remnants of the chocolate stain are still visible after performing step 2, take 1 teaspoon
of liquid dish soap and mix it with a cup of warm water.
Pour this mixture directly onto the stain.
Begin blotting the carpet, working from the outer edge of the stain to the inner part.
Doing so ensures you're not spreading the chocolate stain further.
Leave the area to dry and the chocolate stain should disappear.
