How curious - all my white towels had orange stains on them last night, but I noticed that as I was putting them into the washing machine (which is also very new).

As I've learnt from personal experience, sunscreen can stain clothes orange, and the stain doesn't come up until after they've been washed - by which time it's too late to shift them. So whenever I wash something that I've worn while using sunscreen I always spray collar, cuffs, etc with OxiClean before putting them in the wash. Haven't had any sunscreen stains since starting to do that.

But haven't got a clue why my towels should have orange stains!
