SPF stains - help!

Can anyone please recommend solutions to stains on clothes that have been caused by SPF.

I bought a cheaper brand SPF50 when we forgot our SPF one day - it’s very think and greasy and has stained a new white blouse of mine and DD’s brand new white denim shorts.

I did leave them in vanish overnight but it made no difference whatsoever.

They’ve also been out on the line for the last two days - again, no difference.

Are they for the bin? So annoying as both items are new and we really like them.

I’ve yet to find a way of getting it out-good luck.

I suspected that might be the case! It’s worse as the clothes are so white, and the marks so yellow!

I’m having the same problem with my toddler’s clothes as I’ve been slathering on the factor 50 - can confirm neither napisan nor vanish has been successful

So I’ve just been some tips on Facebook on the Organised Mum Community. Apparently we shouldn’t wash them, but two things that seem to work are fairy and elbow grease.

Out directly on the stains snd then left to soak, before washing. Mine have been washed so think they will be for the bin

Try eucalyptus oil. Sprinkle on the stain and leave for 15 mins. Wash at the hottest advised garment temp the line dry. Repeat as necessary.
