Pretreating for Chocolate Stains

Remember the time you wore your favorite white shirt and promised yourself that you wouldn’t spill on it, but before you knew it there was a huge chocolate stain on the front? We’ve all been there. Luckily, there are plenty of pretreatment methods to help lift stains and save clothes. 
A few effective ways to remove chocolate from clothing are to:
  • Scrape the chocolate off the material
  • Flush the affected area with cold water or club soda
  • Rub a few drops of Dawn Dish Soap or laundry detergent on the stain
  • Sponge with lemon juice or vinegar
  • Soak the article of clothing in detergent overnight
You can wash your clothes on a normal setting once the stain fades, but make sure you don’t dry the fabric until the stain is completely lifted, as it may create a set-in stain.
Are you looking for an effortless way to remove stains from your clothes? Watch this video to learn how Colleen and Martin’s special formula paired with high-quality laundry technology can remove stains without pretreating.

Clean the filters Inside your dishwasher there is at least one filter that collects solid particles that may have been on your dishes.  If you don’t clean it regularly then your dishes may show visible signs of dirt and the dishes can feel gritty to the touch.  It is easy to remove and clean them.   You can just do a quick look at the filter about once a month if you tend to put dirty dishes in the dishwasher.  If you are in the habit of clearing the dishes of food before putting them in the dishwasher you may only need to ch...
