The first step is to identify the type of suntan lotion being used, as this will inform the best approach for stain removal. If Prada item is a delicate fabric, then it is important to be gentle as you work on the stain. But if it is made of a sturdy material, like denim or canvas, then you can be more aggressive with the stain removal.

In case of delicate fabrics, best course of action is to use a damp cloth to blot away the excess lotion. This can help to lift away some of excess oils and prevent them from further penetrating the fabric. It is important to only dab stain and never rub, as rubbing can cause the stain to spread.

For tougher materials, such as denim or canvas, treating the stain with a mixture of vinegar and water can help to break down the oils. Soak a clean cloth in the solution and gently dab at the stain until it has been removed. For more stubborn stains, using a mild detergent can also help to lift away debris. Again, only dab at stain and avoid scrubbing, as this can damage the fabric.

Finally, always remember to thoroughly rinse the affected area after treating the stain. This will help ensure that all of the cleaning agents have been removed and won’t leave behind an odor or residue. After rinsing, it is best to air dry the item to prevent any further damage.

With the right technique, suntan lotion stains can easily be removed from Prada items. But if the stain proves to be too stubborn, it may be best to seek professional help to ensure the fabric is not damaged.
