This not only keeps your clothes looking fresh but also ensures they last longer.

Econs said: “Sun cream is often oil-based, so you'll need a solution that can cut through this greasy layer. 

“Washing up liquid is a great, inexpensive choice, but any laundry detergent or stain remover will work effectively.

"For these tough stains, it’s best to take a spot treatment approach. 

“Focus on the affected area first before washing the entire garment. 

“This method not only saves money by reducing the amount of product used but also allows the solution to work more effectively on lifting the stain before the whole garment is washed."

These expert tips can help you can keep your clothes looking fresh and clean throughout the summer, no matter how intense the activities or how stubborn the stains.
