Chocolate Stain

[margaretta]

Can anyone please suggest an effective method of removing a chocolate stain from a cashmere sweater? It has been there for a few days, because I gave tried several different chemical removers without any success.
I hope someone can hep me. Thanks in anticipation.

Have you tried a drop of washing up liquid gently rubbed in?

Good luck. I dropped some chocolate down my bra, it melted and I can't get the stain off. At least I can use more brutal methods than you can.

You could try a moderately hot iron on something like a kitchen (paper) towel over the affected area. It may not completely remove it but it should improve it considerably. The fat in the chocolate may be the most significant remainder in which case isopropyl alcohol is the best substance to use, if you can get it.

Just seen this, hope it helps.
Q. Can anyone help me get a chocolate spot out of my cashmere sweater?

A. Chocolate can oxidize any fabric to cause a permanent stain. Cashmere wool is best sent to a professional cleaner for spotting and cleaning. While enzyme cleaners are often recommended for chocolate stains on fabrics, enzymes should not be used on wool. A solvent cleaner such as rubbing alcohol, denatured alcohol, or dry cleaning fluid can be used for spot cleaning wool. Test first in an inconspicuous place for ill effects. Do not use bleach on wool or hot water.
