I have this problem with a lot of my clothes now that I'm using sunscreen on a regular basis. Especially on the collars/shirt sleeves, and the front of shorts. The sunscreen turns a yellow-kind of rusty color-on evrything! My mom says to just keep washing them, and it will eventually wash out, but I can't really wear them now in the summer time when I want to b/c of all the discoloration on them. And they are all brand new this year! Anyone have any ideas on how to get rid of it? I have tried soaking them in vinegar, color safe bleach, everything! Thanks for your help!

Ok, so no one knows of anything, but I found something that works wonderfully! Dish soap! It's my new favorite cure all for laundry! I have the Original Palmolive, and it works wonderfully. Just thought I'd share.....

Your Welcome, Aunt Jenny! I just poured it on, let it sit while the washer filled up, and put them in. Didn't sit that long, and it still came out!
