Jacquard is a superior quality fabric made from cotton or other material weaves, and it's a popular choice for clothing, upholstery and home décor.

Instructions for Treating Suntan Lotion Stains on Jacquard Fabric

  1. Start by scraping off any remaining residue of lotion with a spoon, knife, or credit card. If the stain is still wet, blot it with a dry cloth or paper towel.
  2. Mix together equal parts of dishwashing liquid and white vinegar in a bowl.
  3. Apply the mixture to the stained area with a sponge, cloth, or brush and scrub the area gently.
  4. Rinse off mixture with a damp cloth and then allow fabric to air dry.
  5. If the stain is still visible, sprinkle salt onto the stain and rub it in with a cloth. Leave it for 10 minutes.
  6. Vacuum up salt, then repeat steps 2-4, if necessary.
