Post by: skillwizz on June 23, 2010, 12:00:10 pm

Chocolate marks on linen curtains what els can i say? They are nutral coloured, that is to say light brown and white and the weave is very light (see through).The marks are at toddler level(!), and the chocolate is not thick.I've taken the curtains down and have then at my home. Apart from sucking it out myself, dose anyone have a solution?
Cheers George.

I would sniff them before deciding what to use.

 Chocolate is solouble so should rinse out with water. Would go with a drimaster or cfr if you have one and i'd speed dry just in case.

Id be careful as if its linen and you only clean a small area it may watermark.

Id seek more advice first of all.

Cheers for that Mark.....choc came out and guess what!!!........your right ..water marks!!. I got round this by gently sponging the water mark with an almost dry cold water cloth. It worked and now you cant tell at all phew!! The client is a money pot and i needeed to impress her.Feeling confident now.
