To keep sunscreen stains from spreading, stop the wash, keep the stained area dry, and pre-treat the spot before it goes into a full load. Wash the item separately or with similar colors using the coolest effective setting, and check the stain before drying so heat doesn’t set it.
Preventing Sunscreen Stains from Spreading During Washing
Steps to Take Right Away

What Not to Do
- Don't use hot water initially. Heat can set many stains permanently.
Notes for Common Situations
