How to Get Sun Cream Stains out of Clothes




Getting sunscreen on your dresses is common and sometimes inevitable. Sunscreen mostly leaves a kind of oily stain that can be comfortably removed from most fabrics. But that similar stain can become a much more serious problem when you have to carry out laundry in hard water. 


Most sunscreens consist of a chemical named avobenzone which reacts with hard water and builds dark brown or rust-like stains that can be challenging to remove. The severity of the issue depends on the fibre content of the dress and the hardness of the water. 


So it is always better to give your stained dresses to a laundry service, where they can take care of your clothes professionally. We can check out some tips to get rid of the sunscreen cream from your clothes here.

Spotting the stain

Most sunscreen creams have an oil base enacted as a moisturising medium, resisting the drying effects of the sun. Sunscreen stains are fairly effortless to spot: you will mostly see oily-looking spots on dark coloured clothes, or a yellow-looking stain on light colour clothes. Laundry services can easily spot these stains and they can effortlessly get rid of these marks.

Wise washing

On darker colours, taking out sunscreen from dresses should be a doddle: apply a detergent created to slash through grease and oil stains and deal with the dress gently, before machine washing. Mix a small amount of washing powder, or liquid, in warm water and spread it straight to the stain with cotton or sponge. Avert hot washing as this can occasionally build up an oil-based stain, rather than get rid of it.

Act fast

If you have a misfortune while you are out and about, you can enact fast to lessen the damage to your fabrics. Rub off any excess sunscreen as immediately as possible and spot-wash the damaged area with clean, soap water if you can. If you are on the beach when this happens, you could try applying a little dry sand onto the stain to take in the oil: this should diminish the marks until you can get a laundry service to wash your clothes.

Consult the stain experts

When you use a qualified laundry service, you get the perk of years of fabric cleaning proficiency. If you employ a laundry service, they have the expertise to remove sun cream stains on dresses. If the stain is particularly complex, you can talk through your options with the laundry service customer care.
