What You Will Need
- A toothbrush

Instructions
- If the mesh is still damp from the sunscreen, start by brushing it with a soft-bristled toothbrush. This should help to loosen any clumps or stains.
- Mix a solution of one teaspoon of dishwashing liquid, one teaspoon of baking soda, and one quart of warm water.
- Soak a soft washcloth in solution and dab it onto affected area. Don't rub, because this could damage the mesh.
- Allow the solution to sit for at least five minutes on the stain.
- Rinse the cloth with warm water and use it to blot stained area.
- Let the mesh air-dry.
Additional Tips

- For stubborn stains, try soaking the item in a mixture of one cup of white vinegar mixed with one gallon of hot water before following the steps above.
- Don't forget to read the mesh care label first. Some fabrics may require special treatment.
