How to Quickly Remove Suntan Lotion Stains from Irish Crochet

Whether you're trying to keep your Irish crochet looking pristine or preparing it for sale, suntan lotion stains can be unsightly and difficult to remove without the right approach. Follow these steps to easily clean suntan lotion stains from Irish crochet.

What You'll Need

• Oxygen-based bleach or a gentle liquid laundry detergent (like Dreft)
• Clean towels
• Sponge or soft-bristled brush
• Plastic bucket
• Cold water

Steps for Cleaning

1. Create a cleaning solution by adding 1 cup oxygen-based bleach or 2 tablespoons gentle liquid laundry detergent to a plastic bucket filled with cold water.
2. Immerse the Irish crochet in cleaning solution.
3. Allow the fabric to soak for 15-20 minutes.
4. Gently scrub the stained area with a sponge or soft-bristled brush.
5. Remove the Irish crochet from the cleaning solution, rinse in cold water and wring out excess moisture with a towel.
6. Lay the fabric flat and allow it to air dry.

Tips

• Avoid using hot water — as it can cause the Irish crochet to shrink or fade.
• If the stain still persists, try using a white vinegar solution, which can help remove any soap residue or oil-based stains.
