How do I get sun screen stains off white clothing?

I have tan stains around the neck of my white or light colored-summer clothing due to sunscreen lotions on my neck and chest. Does anyone know how to get these stains out? Bleach does not work for me.

With most fabrics, you can spray the stain with Peroxide and hang in the sun for a few hours...keep spraying until stain is gone. Although this may not work on some fabrics, I have had success with cottons and light denim. It's always worth a try!

You might try Oxiclean White Revive. It has no chlorine. I've had good results using it.

Maybe baking soda and vinegar paste? Dawn?

How about VIVID - it is a non chlorine detergent/whitener. I used it on my husbands white cotton golf shirts. They tend to turn yellow or dingy with exposure and this has worked for me. He also has switched out most of golf shirts to the "wicking" ones and I use this with my regular detergent to keep the colors bright. Let us know that works.
