Removing Suncream stains

c-m

This thread was started a ten years ago, last response a year ago yet people still have the same problems.

No-one here has yet noted that the yellow, orange stains from sunscreen are rust. I get it bad living in a marine environment. A rust remover might work, but really any white clothes, bedsheets etc.. are toast once you get sunscreen on them.

P20 is one of the worst offenders and is a chemical sunscreen from what I can see.

Nivea, claims to be kind to clothes, but I still get stains from that.

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.

I have just fallen into this trap. Any ideas how to get rid of the yellow please.
