Laundromat Tips – Do You Have Chocolate Ice Cream Stains? Try This…

For as much fun as it is to eat, chocolate ice cream can be a terrible mess that leaves hard-to-get-out stains! It can be difficult for adults to navigate from one side of the cone to the other to keep the ice cream from dripping off the cone, so imagine how difficult these tongue acrobatics can be for children.

Best Way To Prevent Chocolate Stains On Your Clothes

• Chocolate ice cream stains should be treated as soon as possible to prevent the stain setting further into the fabric.
• Ideally, a chocolate ice cream stain should never be allowed to dry.

What To Do If You Are Out And Can’t Treat The Chocolate Stain Fully

• Run clean cold water through the back of the fabric, to push the stain out of the fibers.
• If you can find a bathroom, use hand-soap and rub it into the stain with your fingers.
• Wash the soap suds out with clean cold water as before.
• Consult clothing labels and put the item of clothing in the wash as soon as you can.
• Add a good quality stain fighting detergent
• Wash on a cool setting
• After the cycle has finished, check the stain. If it’s still there wash again and don’t dry until that stain is gone.
