Re: IML: removing chocolate stains from upholstery

["Greg and Russell" <65luxuryliner@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Before I would use anything as a home remedy, I would contact a professional carpet and upholstery cleaner and ask what THEY would use.  If the fabric in your Pontiac is original (meaning old), an off the shelf cleaner from the grocery or home improvement store might damage (or at the very least, lighten) the fabric.  Chocolate isn't easy to remove once it has had time to set.

 

Good luck!

Subject: IML: removing chocolate stains from upholstery

HELP!!  Forgive me, for this is not strictly Imperial-related, but Googling this topic is coming with almost as many "solutions" as hits.  I got a chocolate stain from a melted Hershey's Kiss on the cloth upholstery of my '65 Bonneville.  Any consensus out there as to what is truly the best way to remove it?  The car's going to the national Pontiac show in one month, so I need to get cracking on getting it cleaned up ASAP.
