    Just found LISTINGS:1" rel="nofollow">THIS, hope it's useful.

    Neat bleach might have ruined them, you may have bleached the white out. I read that somewhere, not sure if it's true though :confused:

    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 good
    It doesn't matter if you are a glass half full or half empty sort of person. Keep it topped up! Cheers!

    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.)

  • 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.
