How to Remove Chocolate from Carpet
Removal Method
1
Let chocolate harden (put ice in a bag on top to speed this up). Scrape off solid pieces.
2
Mix 1/4 tsp dish soap with 1 cup cold water. Apply to the stain with a cloth, dabbing gently.
3
Blot with cold water to remove soap. Repeat until stain is gone.
💡 Alternative Method
For stubborn chocolate oil residue remaining after the chocolate is removed: apply a small amount of rubbing alcohol, blot, then clean with soapy water.
