Let's not get into the reasons I had to figure this little trick out over the weekend, okay?
Instead let's just assume that at some point in the future, one of us accidentally spills hot chocolate on a carpet. Don't fret. There's a good way to remove it.
- Blot out excess chocolate until the spot is merely damp (don't rub, just blot)
- Mix two egg yolks with about half a cup of warm water
- Dip a color-fast hand towel in the yolk mixture and place directly on stain for five minutes to so
- Then rub gently with the same towel (if some of the stain has sullied a portion of the towel, use an un-sullied piece). After about two minutes the stain should more or less be out
