Saturday stuff

I ate soft chocolate earlier, and some of it fell on my shirt.  So I looked up how to get it out without making it set permanently, and I'm hoping, hoping, hoping.

Key Steps to Remove Chocolate Stains:
  1. Remove Excess:  Gently scrape off solidified chocolate with a dull knife or spoon.
  2. Rinse Cold:  Run cold water through the back of the stain to prevent it from setting deeper into the fibers.
  3. Pre-treat:  Apply a heavy-duty liquid detergent (like Tide) or dish soap (like Dawn) directly to the stain.
  4. Soak:  Let the garment sit for at least 15–30 minutes to break down the grease.
  5. Wash:  Launder the item as usual in cold water.
  6. Check Before Drying:  Ensure the stain is completely gone before putting it in the dryer, as heat can permanently set any remaining stain.
I'm about to do a load of laundry in cold water.  When it's done, then I'll know whether this is a happy Saturday or not.
