The Vanish Hot Chocolate Stain Removal Tips
So, you've made your hot chocolate: easy, wasn't it?
While it may be easy to make, it's also quite difficult to get out of clothes. Chocolate contains oils and fats which makes it difficult to get out without a stain remover to break down these proteins. Fortunately Vanish Gold Oxi Action Gel is the most effective way to remove stains. Here's the stain removal process for hot chocolate:
Don't let the stain dry! It becomes trickier to remove once it's dried out. Keep it moist by dabbing it with cloth or wet paper towel.
Pre-treat the stain with Vanish Gold Oxi Action Gel, using 20ml over the stain.
Leave it for ten minutes, then put the item into the wash with your usual detergent. There, all done!
So with that knowledge in mind, you can now enjoy hot chocolate every day!
