I spent ages looking for the right v necked white T-shirts (I’m a 32HH so not as easy as it looks) to take on holiday and managed to get sunscreen on the neckline.

how do I get it out? I have tried the vinegar trick but it didn’t work 😥

Hanging them out in the helps fade it a lot but it never completely goes annoyingly.

There’s this little spray stuff, an aerosol, I can’t remember what its called but it works, just checked the cupboard de-solv-it

I have had success using about stain remover.

Use a normal bar soap. Like Dettol or the likes. Wet the soap and rub on the stain until it's fully covered. Then leave it for a day or overnight. Then wash as usual.

Desolvit did the trick! Thank you for saving my white T-shirts!
