Say Goodbye to Suntan Lotion Stains on Your Favorite Converse

Summer has arrived and with it comes carefree days at the beach, poolside lounging, and lots of sunscreen. But sometimes, when your activities and sunscreen collide, your Converse shoes can be left with an unsightly suntan lotion stain. Don't worry! Here are some simple steps to get them looking as good as new.

You'll Need

• A cloth or paper towel
• Mild detergent
• White vinegar

Instructions:

1. Gently blot away any excess suntan lotion from the fabric of your shoes with a cloth or paper towel.
2. Mix a small amount of mild detergent with warm water. Dip a cloth into the mixture and use it to dab the stained area.
3. Rinse the soapy area with clean water and let dry.

7. Wash the paste away with clean water and let dry.
