 Poster: A snowHead
|
I really love my new Arcteryx jacket. I love Italian hot chocolate too... but I must have leant on some in Sestriere and I just can't remove the horrid marks. The manufacturer said to wash it with tech wash and with a bit of a toothbrush rub beforehand too, but sadly without success. Any drinking chocolate removing tips would be greatly appreciated.

Difficult stain. I would try putting some biological liquid wash directly on stain and leave for 10 minutes before washing again

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Have you tried Vanish for biological stains? It worked on my 6Y old's jacket - only left it on for 2-3 minutes, then washed it and reproofed it with the ever reliable Nikwax. Having said that his jacket is grey / red - is yours a light colour?

Vanish stick, scrubbing, (start by using cold water to see if it works then gradually increase the temperature of the water till the stain begins to loosen, rinse well in the same temperature water that loosened the stain) then Nikwax, I have used this process many times over the years on hot chocolate (skiing hols with 3 messy small boys then careless teenagers lol) and many other food/drink stains. The only problem may be that you have already 'set' the stain by previous attempts to remove it. Good luck

If you pour lucozade all over it it will remove most the stain.

Google lucozade stain first just to make sure its fabric safe.

Bit late, but the best thing for stains is do nothing then take it to the dry cleaners

Thanks all, have tried some of these and to much relief the stain is almost out. I've resisted sucking it and lucozade for now !

I have a 38x14 foot carpet with some amazing lucazade patterns. It was cream.
It was a sad day , for the cleaning man who could not remove it, and a bit sad for me, as I have had to ask a 12 year old to leave "her" house and travel the world until she finds the solution or a large off cut of suitable replacement. Lucky I have another child.
