Hi. Do you know how to get rid off yellow stains caused by sun cream on my white top and shorts?

I wore my white shorts and top yesterday, I used regular sun cream - solar ambre but came back home with yellow stains that did not come off in the wash. I soked them before the wash in vanish.Thank u.Hi. Do you know how to get rid off yellow stains caused by sun cream on my white top and shorts?
Here are some ideas:





Grease, Hand Lotion, Makeup (oil-based), Ointment/Salve, %26amp; lotion - Always read and follow the care instructions and any warnings on the garment label. And, follow the General Rules for stain removal (don't dry in dryer if the stain remains after washing, heat will set stains most times).








Saturate light stains with a pretreatment spray stain remover and wait several minutes for it to penetrate. Rub with a heavy-duty liquid laundry detergent. Launder





If color stain remains, launder with chlorine bleach if safe for the fabric, or use an all-fabric bleach. Always test for colorfastness before using bleach.





Place heavy stains face down on folded paper towels. Apply dry cleaning fluid to the back of stain. Replace towels frequently. (Carefully read and follow instructions on the product package.) Let air dry; rinse. Launder in hottest water safe for the fabric.





If color stain remains, treat as a ';Dye Stain.'; in other words you maybe out of luck, dye stain are hard to impossible to remove and are usally removed using dye removers (stronger than bleach).Hi. Do you know how to get rid off yellow stains caused by sun cream on my white top and shorts?
more vanish, but try using a srubbing brush on them too. It might take a couple of goes. Good luck
Was it REALLY a sun cream stain???





;-)
I'm afraid you're stuck with it. Next time, do not launder or attempt any home stain removal. Take the item to the dry cleaner. This is the only sure way to do it, and they can't do you any good if you have already had a go at it.





Maybe you could squirt some more sun cream on, or mustard, and have modern art clothes.
I find Shout is better than Vanish - and BioTex is okay too. After the next washing attempt, leave the stained part of the garments in full sun to dry - keep damping the stain and let the sun do its work (through a window if necessary). Your patience may well be rewarded. Good luck.
