You can get specific stain removers for different types of stains -fruit based, grease based , ink etc. One of them says it works on suncream and I found it quite goodIt doesn't matter if you are a glass half full or half empty sort of person. Keep it topped up! Cheers!0

Brilliant Troo, thank you!
I'll try that as soon as I can get to the shops for a Stain Devil.
Fingers crossed. (I'll just have to hope the bleach thing didn't stuff it all up, lol.)Herman - MP for all!

I've just got sun cream stains out of my grandaughters white cotton dress by soaking it in a bowl full of diluted bleach. Don't be tempted to pour neat bleach on the stain though as this will turn it yellow. I've soaked it for about 4 hours now and the stains have almost gone. I think with a bio wash it should be fine.
Hope this will be useful for someone else.0
