How To Clean Your Tanning Mitt

How to Clean Your Tanning Mit
Your tanning mitt is essential for achieving that flawless, streak-free tan. But after a few uses, it can build up residue, affecting your glow. To keep your mitt in top condition, it's important to clean it regularly. Luckily, cleaning your tanning mitt is super easy and doesn’t require any fancy products. Let’s get started!
1. Rinse Immediately After Use
Right after applying your tan, take a moment to rinse your mitt. Run lukewarm water over it and gently squeeze to release the excess tanning product. This step prevents the solution from drying into the mitt and helps maintain its soft texture for your next application.
Pro tip: If you're in a hurry, try to rinse it within the same day to stop the tanning solution from setting in.
2. Scrub With Water
Once you’ve rinsed out the bulk of the product, give the mitt a gentle scrub. Use your hands to rub the fabric together under lukewarm water. Focus on areas that tend to absorb more product, like the center of the mitt. This will help loosen any leftover tanner without needing any extra tools.
If your mitt has a lot of buildup, soaking it in water for a few minutes before scrubbing can make the process even easier.
3. Squeeze Out the Water
After scrubbing, squeeze the mitt gently to remove as much water as you can. Be careful not to wring it too hard, as this can damage the fabric or cause it to lose its shape.
4. Air Dry—Avoid the Dryer
Lay your mitt flat or hang it up to air dry. Make sure it’s in a well-ventilated area, and avoid drying it in direct sunlight, as this can fade the mitt or make the fabric stiff.
Important: Never use a machine dryer—this can damage the mitt and reduce its softness, leaving you with a less smooth application next time.
5. Store It Right
Once your mitt is completely dry, store it in a clean, dry place. Avoid leaving it in a humid bathroom or a closed space where bacteria can build up. Storing it properly helps your mitt last longer and stay fresh between uses.
Why Keeping Your Mitt Clean Matters
A dirty tanning mitt can lead to streaks, uneven application, or even unwanted shades due to old, leftover product. Keeping your mitt clean ensures a smooth tan every time and makes sure you get the most out of your tanning sessions.
