OK, does anyone have an excellent way to keep white clothes/white bathing suits from turning yellow once they have been exposed to sunscreen - sooooo annoying
Help please

I love this stuff -
http://www.oxyboost.com/products/oxy_boost.html
It is the basic ingredient in OxyClean. (Apparently OxyClean has lots of fillers in it)
It works on everything.
For really tough stuff, I soak garments and hang them out in the sun to bleach (while still wet from the soak water) and then put them in the washer.
My sunscreen removal has been limited to Northeast summers and STJ trips only, not everyday living. Must be nice to have such problems

I will try that - how do you make a paste - just add water or something else? Heading to the store today so I will look for Oxyclean and if I can't find it I'll add it to my STT shopping list

Oxy comes in a liquid and spray

also.
The link below explains how to use it.

I will look for it on STT - no luck in Coral Bay today so I might have to ship it down from the States on my next trip in a month.
Anyone have ideas how to use it with a front loader washing machine - the "how to use" info said to wait for the washer to fill with water (Oxyclean already in) and then add clothes - doesn't work with front loading machines

The directions for the stuff I use, the generic OxyClean, say to put it in the drum with the clothing.
