Sunscreen is leaving an ugly yellow staining on my white bathing suit and board shorts, how do i get it out?

Question

I have tired what seems like everything to remove this odd discoloration. I always wash our suits in cold water after swimming, but both soap and spray and wash has not worked. Any ideas would be helpful--these suits are too expensive to replace (they belong to me and my daughter).

Answer 1

This happened to my bathing suit and my mom bleached it which helped but didnt take the yellow out completely. Im pretty sure its stained for good :( .

Answer 2

Sunscreen is oil-based I think so you will need to use a hot wash to disperse it. You could also try some washing soda in with the wash. Good luck. UK
