The first thing you will want to do is pre-treat the stain by dabbing it with a paper towel or lint-free cloth. This helps to absorb as much of the stain as possible before any other cleaning is attempted.
Mix baking soda with vinegar until it forms a paste. Apply this paste to stain and let it sit for 15-20 minutes before scrubbing. This will help to break down the suntan lotion and make it easier to remove.
After the paste has had time to work its magic, take an old toothbrush or other soft-bristled brush and gently scrub the fabric in a circular motion. This will help to loosen the stain and lift it from the fabric.
After scrubbing stain, place the blouse in the washing machine and launder it with a mild detergent. If the stain is still visible, repeat laundering process until it has been removed.
Suntan lotion stains can be easily removed with a few simple steps. Just pre-treat the stain, make a paste, scrub it, and then launder fabric as usual. With these tips, you will have your favorite blouses looking good as new!
