Removing Chocolate from carpets and Upholstery

Easter time means chocolate – and lots of it. So, children and adults will be snapping bits off Easter eggs and small shards of chocolate will fall on the carpet, on the sofa seats and even on your car seats on the way home from a family Easter visit.

Here are our TOP TIPS for removing melted chocolate from your carpets and sofas…

Removing melted Chocolate from Carpet

Drip a little cold water directly over the chocolate stain. Then get a clean cloth with a spot of detergent and rub in a circular motion. (this prevents spreading the stain by rubbing side to side). Allow it to soak in for ONE whole minute, then rinse off with a finger under a damp clean cloth, again in small circles and it should be gone.
