How to Easily Clean Suntan Lotion Stains from Jacquard Fabrics

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. While it's easy to keep clean with regular laundry, suntan lotion - or any oily substance - can leave behind a sticky, waxy stain, making it hard to remove. Here's how to tackle these stains on Jacquard.

What You'll Need

• Dishwashing soap
• White vinegar
• Salt
• Sponge, cloth or brush
• Vacuum cleaner

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.
