Did your clothes get sun stained after a day in the sun?

We have the solution to how you wash them off. We have tested several methods on how to remove sun stains from the clothes. And we are thrilled to let you know, that we have found a method that works! These washing directions removes any signs of sun stains coming from Karmameju’s sunscreens.

The test was conducted on various types of textiles using Karmameju’s own sun products, which contain the physical, mineral UV filter Zinc Oxide. We applied SPF 30 and the tinted BB Cream Medium to visible areas and left the clothing in a laundry basket for a few days.

Directions:

- Wet the stains with a generous amount of Colour detergent.

- Store the clothes in a closed plastic for 24 hours.

- Wash coloured garments at 40°C and whites at 60°C. 

Avoid detergents that contain bleach or optical white, as these are said to make the stains more difficult to remove. Alternatively, if the stains are stubborn, you can wet the stains with soft soap, put the clothes in a closed plastic bag overnight, and then wash the clothes at 60 degrees Celsius.

CAUTION: Always wash your clothes according to the directions found in the clothes. If the clothes are washed at higher degrees than recommended, there is a risk that the clothes can be damaged. Karmameju does not recommend using the method described above on delicate textiles that are recommended to be washed at no more than 30 degrees Celsius.

Avoid sun stains on your clothes

It can be difficult to avoid sun stains on the clothes completely, as the sunscreen will often wear off when we sweat. You can minimize the risk of sun stains by letting the sunscreen dry on the skin before getting dressed. Avoid wearing tight clothes as well as clothes in delicate materials that cannot be washed at more than 30 degrees Celsius.
