Sunscreen is essential for protecting your skin outdoors, but it can leave unsightly stains on your outdoor sofa. To prevent discoloration, start by choosing a sunscreen that’s less likely to transfer, such as a quick-absorbing or non-greasy formula. Applying a protective cover or throw blanket over your sofa can also create a barrier against stains.

For added protection, treat your outdoor furniture with a fabric guard spray designed to repel oils and liquids. Regularly cleaning your sofa with a mild soap and water solution can help remove sunscreen residue before it sets in. If stains do appear, use a mixture of baking soda and water or a specialized upholstery cleaner to gently lift the discoloration.

By taking these simple steps, you can enjoy both sun protection and a stain-free outdoor sofa all season long.
