How do I remove the yellow stain in my blue stripes towels?
By Marlyn
Sunscreen caused yellowing on cotton sheets and towels. I need something other than Barkeepers Friend or Biz bleach. I live in the Bahamas and thus have limited options available. Thank you.

This is a page about removing sunscreen from whites. It is not uncommon for sunscreen to leave yellow/orange stains on clothing. Here are some tips for removing these stains from white clothing.

I have recently returned from my holiday with white cotton clothing that is no longer white. The yellow color my whites have turned is thought to be sunscreen, but I'm not 100% positive.
I have a number of white cotton t-shirts that have orange and red stains around the sleeves and neck from what I could only imagine is sunscreen. These stains magically "appear" when I wash them.
Can someone please help me with orange sunscreen stains on clothing? I'm finding the stains after washing. They don't appear until the clothing has been washed.
I'm a golfer and I have ruined many shirts and shorts due to the sunscreen. How do I get rid of these stains?
