How do I remove sunscreen stains from my wrap?Updated 2 months ago

Sunscreen stains can be oily or brown/orange, often caused by avobenzone (a common sunscreen ingredient) reacting with minerals in water.

Here’s how to remove them:

  1. Blot the stain with a dry cloth to remove excess sunscreen.
  2. Sprinkle bi-carb soda or cornflour over the stain and let it sit for 30 minutes.
  3. Brush off the powder and apply a strong laundry detergent (one designed to break down oils).
  4. Soak in hot water mixed with detergent for 30 minutes, then rinse with clean hot water.
  5. Wash as usual.

For stubborn stains on white fabrics: Hang the wrap in the sun and spray with lemon juice—a natural brightener that helps lift stains!
