Tips for Getting Sunscreen Out of Suits

My easy to use tips will help lift mineral based sunscreen stains out of your bathing suits!
Prep: 15 minutes
Cook: 1 hour
Total: 1 hour 15 minutes

Ingredients 

  • equal parts dish soap
  • equal parts baking soda

Instructions 

Create the Paste:

  • In a small bowl, combine equal parts dish soap and baking soda.
  • Mix thoroughly until you form a thick paste. The consistency should be spreadable but not too runny.

Apply the Paste:

  • Generously apply the paste to the stained area of the fabric.
  • Use your fingers or a soft brush to gently work the paste into the stain, ensuring full coverage.

Let it Sit:

  • Allow the paste to sit on the stain for about an hour. This gives the ingredients time to break down and lift the stain from the fabric.

Wash as Usual:

  • After an hour, rinse off the paste with cool water.
  • Wash the fabric as you normally would, following the care instructions on the label.
  • For best results, air dry the fabric rather than using a dryer, which can set any remaining stains.
