Cleaning suntan lotion stains from a handbag or purse can be a fairly straightforward process. Here are some simple steps you can follow to help remove the stain:

  • Gently remove as much of the excess suntan lotion from the surface of the handbag or purse.
  • Mix a solution of lukewarm water and mild liquid detergent.
  • Dampen a cloth or sponge in the detergent solution.
  • Gently rub the damp cloth or sponge over the stained area, making sure not to rub too hard or use a harsh scrubbing motion.
  • Once the stain has been removed, rinse the handbag or purse with clear water to remove any remaining soap residue.
  • Allow the purse or handbag to air dry completely before using it again.

If the stain persists, try using a specialized stain remover specifically made for fabrics. If that doesn't do the trick, you may need to seek professional help from a dry cleaner. Remember to check the cleaning instructions on the tag of your handbag or purse before attempting to treat fabric at home.
