I just bought a cotton shirt, wore it once and got milk chocoate on it....I FORGOT about it, washed and dried it and the stain is still present. Pretreated it with detergent, washed FORGOT again and threw it in the dryer...stain is lighter but still present. HOW do I get it out??

By drying the shirt, you have most likely set the stain and made it permanent. Sorry.

Once stains get dried in the dryer they tend to be very difficult to remove. Try working a paste of powdered enzyme detergent (Biz) into stain and then soak overnight or longer. Check occasionally and gently hand agitate the stain to see if you are making progress. Then wash with detergent and all fabric bleach.
