What is the easiest way to remove sunscreen stains?
Most sunscreens or sunscreen oils are relatively greasy. To best remove sunscreen stains, we are going to look at products that are degreasing.
- Let a good stain remover or liquid detergent soak in on the stain. Afterwards, you can machine wash the garment according to the washing instructions.
- Products that degrease very well are dishwashing detergents. They not only get your pots and pans clean, but can also remove stubborn sunscreen stains. Green soapwould also be good for removing grease stains. Rub gently on the stain and let it soak in well.
- In addition, a gloss rinse agent that one uses in dishwashers is also very effective for getting stains out of your clothes. Let it soak in well and rinse thoroughly afterwards.
- Finally, shampoo can also help get stains out of your clothes.

What to look out for
If you want to remove sunscreen stains, pay attention to the following. Before drying a garment coming out of the washer, it is advisable to first check carefully whether the stain has effectively disappeared. Otherwise, you run the risk of the stain becoming permanent due to the heat of the dryer.
Also be careful not to use agents that have a bleaching effect. On white clothes this is not as bad, but you would not want a white stain left on your purple T-shirt.
