Yes, although I'd recommend soaking it the stained area in Oxyclean first. If you toss it right into the washer, the stain may settle as it's being washed.

The faster you can tackle a stain of any kind, the easier it will be to remove it. If you give a stain time to settle into the fabric, it may be impossible to fully remove. This is true whether it's spray tan, wine, soda, or whatever.

Try salt! Lay the fabric flat and sprinkle salt over the area. Then, squeeze some lemon juice on it and let it soak. Give it another wash. That might completely remove the stain.

I got my spray tan last night, and today I look really dark and orange. I want to remove it, what can I do?

Community Answer

Jergens has a body scrub specifically made to get rid of the stain of the self-tanner. You can also call the place where you got your spray tan to see what they suggest.
