Sun really removes stains!!!!

[user1471523870]

I read a post here somewhere only few days ago of someone mentioning that if you put something with a stain to dry in the sun it makes the stain fade.
Well, OMG, I am approaching 50 and never known!!!

Today I took out of the washing machine a white t-shirt with still some light yellow stains (my son's antibiotic, he spit it out!). I normally would put it back on the pile of things to wash, with mental note to spray it with some stains removal before the next load.
However, I remembered that post and put it to dry in the sun. It's magic. The stain has COMPLETELY gone.

I will do this more often now:).

Thank you to the lady who wrote about it - wherever she is!

Going to try this with a couple of t shirts tomorrow!

It also gets rid of baby poo stains (or at least bf ones)

It really does! Is brilliant on tomato-based stains.

Yep great. It will bleach grey whites too. I've been leaving my older towels out on the line this week to brighten them!

Yep, best way of getting rid of stains

It will do how do think people managed before the stuff we use now, sheets were thrown over bushes etc to dry.

It absolutely does! If I know it is going to be a dry night and a sunny morning in summer I purposefully leave things on the line facing the sunrise to maximise its benefits!

It’s a game changer.

Had no idea! Was wondering how a stain on back door paintwork faded so much!

Well growing up in the Southern Hemisphere, we line dry everything, so yes the sun does remove stains.

Yup, it's magic and free!

It doesn’t even need to be really sunny. I managed to miss my mouth with my pasta and had a big red stain. Put my top outside and wasn’t hopeful as it was overcast…it’s like witchcraft!

Great! DS got loads on a brand new M&S white polo for school 😱

I strategically place dds bibs and vests in the sun, 11 months in and not a stain in sight!

Conversely, this is why you should always hang dark colours inside out .

Yeah they get "sun bleached" as my nan would say.

I always put lights outside in direct sun and then darks in the shade away from direct sunlight. Yes I have two holes in my garden to move the line around. I'm weird I know but it's my "thing" 😬
