ONE of the sweetest things about the summer holidays are all those seasonal treats... ice cream on a cone, barbecues, entertaining al fresco and a jug of Pimm's.
And then there are the occasional mishaps spills, leaks, grease stains, sugary treats melting in the heat, sun cream on your clothes.
Home expert and author, Lynsey Crombie, aka 'Queen of Clean' shares her top tips to tackle common summer stains...
SUN CREAM
"Sun cream can be a real pain to get out [of fabric] and the longer you leave it, the worse it gets," warns Lynsey.
She says to try to blot it gently to absorb as much cream as you can, or if you have a hand sanitiser, cover the stain to stop it from spreading.
"Another fantastic 'oldschool' tip if you're at the beach, cover the stain with sand to dry out the stain!" What to do next...
As soon as you can, rinse the stain from the reverse under a cold water tap, says Lynsey. "The stain is being pushed out of the fabric and flushing out as much as the stain as possible."
