If you have been unfortunate enough to get any fake tan on your clothing, you want to try and get it off as soon as possible before the tan sets in. You can dab the stain first with soapy water and a detergent solution before putting it in the wash. As long as the fabric is machine washable you shouldn’t have a problem in doing so, just check the labels beforehand. You might have to repeat this process a couple of times until the stain has been removed, just be sure to check each time, you want to avoid putting the clothes in the tumble dryer or drying it in the sun until the stain has been removed completely otherwise the heat could cause the stain to set into the fabric.
