Self-tanner can work wonders for your glow, but it’s not just your skin that might catch some color! If your self-tan has transferred onto your sheets, you’re probably wondering if it’ll wash out. Fortunately, there are some easy ways to remove self-tanner stains from your sheets and get them looking fresh again.
Although the Boë products don’t cause these stains – thanks to their colorless formulas – we’ve gathered some helpful tips for dealing with self-tanner stains on your sheets if you’re using other products that contain color.
Why Boë Self-Tanners Keep Your Sheets Clean
If you’re using Boë’s colorless self-tan formulas, you can avoid most of the common self-tanner transfer problems. Unlike products with added color or spray tans, Boë products won’t leave any telltale signs on your sheets, so you won’t need to worry about dealing with stains!
But if you’re using a colored self-tanner or spray tan, read on for some tried-and-true methods to help you lift those stains and keep your sheets in top shape.
Quick & Easy Ways to Get Self Tanner Out of Sheets
If you’ve got a little self-tan on your sheets, don’t worry – here are three effective methods to remove the stains.
Method #1: Laundry Detergent Solution
A laundry detergent solution is one of the most reliable ways to tackle self-tanner stains on sheets. Here’s what to do:
- Create the Solution: Mix laundry detergent or dishwashing soap with cool water.
- Dab the Stain: Start by blotting the stained area with cold water, then gently dab with the detergent solution. Avoid scrubbing, as this can set the stain.
- Wash the Sheets: After treating the stain, launder the sheets as usual, and they should come out looking like new!
Method #2: Club Soda Spot Treatment
Another quick fix is to use club soda, which is great for lifting light stains without damaging your sheets.
- Wash as Normal: Once you’ve treated the area, give your sheets a regular wash, and the stain should be gone!
- Apply Club Soda: Wet a cloth with club soda and dab at the stain. Be gentle – scrubbing can make it harder to remove.
- Place a Towel Underneath: To keep the stain from spreading, position a dark towel under the sheets while you treat the spot.
Method #3: Overnight Soak for Larger Stains
For larger, more stubborn stains, an overnight soak is often the most effective approach.
- Wash in the Morning: Drain the water in the morning, then wash the sheets in your washing machine as usual.
- Prepare the Soak: Fill a bathtub or large basin with hot water and add biological laundry detergent. Biological detergent contains enzymes that are particularly effective at breaking down stains.
- Soak the Sheets: Let your sheets soak in the solution overnight, allowing the enzymes time to work on the stain.
