How to Remove Suntan Lotion Stains from Anorak
- Wet the area of the anorak stained with suntan lotion. Make sure not to use too much water or to saturate the fabric as it could cause damage.
- Apply a small amount of dish soap or other cleaning product directly onto the stain and rub gently with a small brush or soft sponge. Be careful not to scrub too hard, as this could cause further damage to fabric.
- Rinse the area with lukewarm water and check if the stain has been removed. If the stain is still visible, repeat steps 2 and 3 until it's gone.
- Once you're sure that stain has been successfully removed, dry the anorak with a soft cloth. Do not put it in dryer - simply allow it to air dry.
