Nancy Birtwhistle recommends a method using common household ingredients to remove sunscreen stains from clothing.
Here's the process:
- Wet the Stain: Slightly dampen the sunscreen stain with water.
- Apply Bicarbonate of Soda: Add a teaspoon or two of bicarbonate of soda (baking soda) to the stain.
- Add Washing-Up Liquid: Drizzle eco-friendly washing-up liquid over the bicarbonate of soda.
- Massage In: Gently massage the mixture into the fabric using your hands.
- Bag It: Place the item in a plastic bag to prevent it from drying out.
- Leave Overnight: Let the mixture sit on the stain overnight.
This method leverages the cleaning power of bicarbonate of soda and washing-up liquid, allowing them to work effectively on the stain overnight. The plastic bag helps to keep the area moist and enhance the cleaning process.
