How do I get tanning lotion out of clothes?

I know - I'm stupid! But I have a white blazer type jacket that is 97% cotton and 3% spandex. I have a bad habit of wearing it after I go tanning and now it is really dirty from the tanning lotion. Someone told me to use Dawn Dish Soap because it works on everything. What should I use? And how do I use it? Just as a pretreater or as a laundry detergent and how much???

You are not stupid! It happens to all of us, the only reason I know is because my grandma told me once, you can use any grease fighting dish soap, dawn is the gentlest, use it as a pre-treater, put a couple drops on each stain put warm water on the spots and gently rub with your finger into the spots, let it sit for only like 2 minutes then throw in the washer, you can wash in cold water, don't wash in hot!! It'll mess up your clothes BAD.

dawn and tide are the best. Pretreat with either, then rub the stain with a toothbrush or your finger and wash as usual with reg. laundry soap. let it sit for about 30 min. before washing Good luck
Reply:You should wash the Blazer by itself with TIDE with bleach as a detergent ; one cup full
Reply:I've looked in my Queen of Clean book and I can't find anything pointing straight to suntan lotion. However, I'm assuming since suntan lotion is an oily or greasy substance you would treat it the same you would for grease stains. What the book suggests for grease stains (old and\or dry) is to spry some WD-40 on the spot to rejuvenate the oil, then use Dawn on that spot and rub it in. You can wash the garment as usual. When you use WD-40 you need to make sure that you get all of the spots of the WD-40 with the Dawn or you will get new spots. For example, I sprayed the front of my shirt and didn't realize that it went to the back. I didn't treat the back. I had to treat it all over again after it came out of the dryer.
Reply:Pour your liquid laundry detergent right on the stains and let it sit for 1/2 hour before you wash it. Pour the amount of detergent you'll need for the entire load if you need to. The surfactant breaking agents will release the oily stain from your clothes and they'll be fine.
