Removing Fresh Stains
If you can tackle stain quickly, getting it out of your jacket is a breeze. Here's what you should do:
- Blot the stain with a clean, dry cloth to soak up any excess lotion.
- Mix one part liquid laundry detergent with five parts lukewarm water.
- Dip a cloth or sponge into mixture and blot the stain gently.
- Once the stain has been blotted out, rinse the area with lukewarm water.
- You can let the jacket air dry or tumble-dry on low heat.
Removing Old Stains
For old, set-in suntan lotion stains, a bit more work may be required. Try this method:
- Create a paste from cool water and a gentle laundry detergent.
- Apply the paste to the stained area of your jacket.
- Leave the paste on for about 30 minutes, then blot it off with a damp cloth.
- Rinse the area with lukewarm water and let the jacket air-dry.
Once all the stains are out and your jacket is dry, use a fabric protector spray to help keep the material looking new and help it resist future stains.
