We have a lot of white Tshirts with stains on the collars and sleeves from sunscreen. Can you get them out after they have gone through the wash? What would you put on them before washing?
 
I have had to run through multiple washes to get the stains out, but they do eventually come out. I have tossed some clothes into the dryer w/o noticing, and still got the stains to come out. Shout or Spray and Wash works good for light colors. For whites, I made a paste with laundry powder and bleach. Scrub it into the stain with an old toothbrush, let it sit for about 10 minutes, and then wash.
 
I have not had this particular stain but have had great luck with Dawn detergent. Just put on there full strength and wash as usual. Check it out before you dry it so you won't set the stain. I had a nice pair of dressy khaki shorts that had a grease stain on them. I forgot for a yea:scared1:r about the stain and they had been washed and dried by then. I figured what the heck. Put the dawn on there and let it sit a few hours, washed and the stain came out..:woohoo:
