Next time life's got you down, you're feeling tired and bogged down and ready to throw in the towel, remember these three "facts" about chocolate:
Dawn soap – Beyond getting wildlife rescues and dishes squeaky clean, dawn soap is excellent at getting makeup, pen marks, oil splatters, and most stubborn stains out of clothing! Fantastic, especially on delicate materials such as silk. Dab a little dawn over your stubborn spot, with a little bit of cold water, grab an old toothbrush and get brushing!
Club soda and/or salt – Probably wouldn’t make the best cocktail mix, well, unless you add some lime juice and tequila! But club soda and salt or salt as a stand-alone are great fixes for the ultimate party buzzkill - spilling a glass of red wine on a brand new silk top. You might have to take your top off, but pour some salt and a bit of club soda on your stain, let it sit for a few minutes, and then rise with cold water!
Bonus: An alternative to getting bloodstains out would be to use hydrogen peroxide. Pour as needed over stain; let it sit for a couple minutes and washout with soap).
