How do you remove suntan lotion stains from cotton lawn?

Mix one cup of laundry detergent and one cup of white vinegar in a bucket full of warm water. Soak the stained area of the cotton lawn for at least an hour in the solution. Remove the cotton lawn from the mixture and rub a stain remover or pre-treatment solution into the stained area. Use a brush to scrub the stained area, and then rinse the product out with cold water. Finally, run the item through an additional wash in the washing machine.

What additional tips should I consider when dealing with suntan lotion stains?

If the stain persists after the initial treatment, repeat steps four through eight. Do not use hot water when treating the stain, as this can cause it to set further into the fabric. Test any cleaning product you use on an inconspicuous area of the fabric first, to make sure there is no discoloration.
