Yellow sun cream stains

Any tips to get yellow sun cream stains out of white clothing please? I usually wash lights with fairy non bio pods, and have tried fairy / vanish stain removers but they won't budge.

Also any recommendations for an spf50 sun cream that doesn't leave yellow stains to begin with would be much appreciated Grin

It's so annoying isn't it. Bought myself a really nice white summer blouse last year and yellow all around the neck if it :-(

It drives me mad! I find myself avoiding wearing them at all on a sunny day, which is ridiculous as when better to make the most of wearing white?!

My child is about to go into year 6 and I'm yet to solve this problem. The best I can suggest is to put sun cream on 15 min or so before getting dressed so it dries in.

I do try to do that, but I think it's the sun cream top-ups later in the day which probably cause the worst of the stains. Particularly on DD's clothes as she doesn't keep still and it's impossible to avoid the fabric.

Thank you all for these suggestions!! I've just packed for a weekend down at the coast and have braved putting in a couple of white tops after all Grin

Because it goes so greasy you need a bio pod/powder/liquid to breakthrough it. You could soak it in fairy liquid +hot water first
