Using Vinegar

The acid in vinegar can help break down oily suntan lotion and make it easier to remove from Cornelli lace. Start by adding a cup of white vinegar to a couple gallons of warm water in a large bucket or basin. Soak the fabric for about 30 minutes. Then, rub the stained areas gently with a soft cloth to help break up the lotion. As soon as possible after stain has been removed, rinse the fabric with cold water and hang it to air dry.

Removing Greasy Stains With Nail Polish Remover

In some cases, it may be necessary to use a stronger product, such as nail polish remover, to remove suntan lotion from Cornelli lace. This method should only be used if the vinegar method is not successful. Before beginning, ensure that the nail polish remover is safe for use on delicate fabrics. Begin by dampening a cotton ball with the remover and dabbing at the stained area. Do not rub! Continue this process until the majority of the lotion has been removed. Afterward, rinse fabric with cold water and air dry.

Tips for Avoiding Suntan Lotion Stains on Cornelli Lace

The best way to deal with suntan lotion stains is to avoid them in the first place. One way to do this is to wear a shirt over your swimsuit so that your clothing takes the brunt of the lotion. Additionally, it may be helpful to wait a few minutes after applying the lotion before putting on your shirt or other clothing, or wearing the fabric. This will give the lotion time to absorb into the skin rather than soaking into fabric.
