Chocolate Stains - Can this top be saved?

DD1 was given a gorgeous top and matching jeans. She ate chocolate ice cream whilst wearing the outfit and got chocolate stains on the top. I sprayed it w/OxyClean Baby and washed it, but the stain is STILL there! Sad

It is set now? Is there any hope?

The top is white cotton knit.

if all white cotton (no trim, embroidery etc), soak in bucket of chlorine-based bleach (Domestos type) overnight then wash. Diltuion info is normally on bleach bottle.
Works on everything up to and including red wine, and a good reason to dress kids in nothing but white cotton...

Arrgg. It's got a pretty little rose applique.

Wonder if it might work to daub a bit of bleach on w/a cotton bud . . .

DD1 has super-sensitive skin so I have to use Surecare on her clothes.

Id try a mix of spot bleaching (dilute bleach in alittle drop of water in the bleach lid) and have you got Vanish oxi normal stuff? I dont find the baby one works as well. Just be careful with the spotting if near colours of course.

Interested in this thread?
