Sun, sea and...stains. As the summer season approaches, many of us are excited to hit the beach or pool and soak up the sun. However, along with sunscreen's essential protection comes the risk of stains on our beloved bathing suits.
We all know how important it is to wear SPF over the summer months but pesky sunscreen stains can be stubborn and may leave greasy marks or discolouration on the fabric. Before we dive into the removal process, it might be helpful for you to understand why removing sunscreen stains can be particularly challenging. Sunscreen typically contains ingredients like oils, minerals, and chemical filters that are designed to provide sun protection and whilst this is great for protecting our skin- they certainly don't protect our swimwear.
Not only can these greasy residues damage swim fabrics but oxidation after sun exposure may result in discolouration on the fabric. So with the holiday season in full swing, it's never been a better time to have some handy stain removal hacks under your belt for when your swimwear needs a little TLC. We've found some handy tips from the UK's #1 stain remover brand Vanish that will keep your swimwear in top shape.
Remember, it is important to treat the stain as quickly as you can as sun exposure can lead to tougher removal. Step 1 - Evaluate the stain and pick the right stain remover... It can be a bit daunting knowing which product will do the trick.
When picking a stain remover, think about the type of fabric you're dealing with and how bad the stain is. Also, look out for stain removers that are designed to tackle oil-based stains. Or, you could try Arm and Hammer's suggestion of rubbing/rinsing grease stains with dish soap and white wine vinegar first.
