The quickest and easiest way to remove suntan lotion stains from your Under Armour clothes is by pre-treating the item with a stain remover spray followed by placing it in the wash. Many laundry pre-treatments contain special enzymes and other ingredients designed to break down tough stains including oil and grease, which are common culprits of suntan lotion.

When using a pre-treatment, be sure to follow instructions provided on the product. Some pre-treatments must sit for several minutes before washing, while others may require that you brush the area near the stain to help loosen it. Once the pre-treated stain has had time to soak, place the garment in the washing machine with detergent and hot water. Wash the item on the delicate cycle, if possible.

If the suntan lotion was not able to be pre-treated or the stain still remains after washing, try treating stain with a paste made from equal parts laundry detergent and white vinegar. Apply this mixture directly onto spot and allow it to sit for approximately 15 minutes. After, again place the garment in the washing machine.

For stubborn stains, pour some rubbing alcohol onto a clean cloth and rub it onto the stained area. This will help to dissolve the residue left behind from the suntan lotion, which can then be easily removed in the wash. As a safety precaution, be sure to avoid using rubbing alcohol on any delicate fabrics as it could cause discoloration or damage.

Following these simple steps can help you keep your favorite Under Armour clothes looking like new this summer, no matter how much fun you have outside!
