It is really annoying to have juice, coffee, oil stains on your new and clean wool outwears, which are hard to completely remove. However, this kind of things occurs sometimes. Some common methods used to remove stains on wool outwear are described below:

No matter what stain it is, you need to take a prompt action in order to prevent a permanent stain. The sooner you take action, the more easily the stain can be cleaned. Different kinds of stains should be cleaned by different methods.

Scoop any excess chocolate with a blunt instrument, such as a knife or a piece of metal. A solution composed of equal wool detergent and white vinegar or dry-cleaning fluid is the method to remove chocolate stains. Soak a piece of soft clean cloth or sponge in the detergent or dry-cleaning fluid and then blot it on the stains.
