What household products work best to remove a chocolate stain?

Dishwashing detergent or ammonia can get rid of chocolate stains on washable fabrics such as cotton, nylon or spandex. Flushing the stain with club soda also helps to get a chocolate stain off of clothing, but usually soap or other cleaner is also necessary.

Soap and water is often best to remove a chocolate stain from surfaces such as glass, ceramic or vinyl, and washing soda and detergent is the best choice to remove a chocolate stain from surfaces such as marble.

For chocolate stains on a carpet, Spot Shot Carpet Stain Remover works well. If it remains, ammonia and hydrogen peroxide may also work.
