    Hi all, after recently buying spray on Soltan suncare spray (Soltan once invisible from boots) I noticed after washing a white polo shirt ( polyester) there's an awful orangy rusty stain on the collar and arm cuffs. I have tried washing it again, tried vanish soap and also tried dishwasher powder on the stain to try help it but to no avail, is there anyway at all to remove these stains? Needless to say I wouldn't reccommend this if wearing light coloured clothes although its convenient to apply with it being an aerosol. Can anyone suggest ways to remove these stains? Would try cleaning or anything else I can try?

    Try it and see, I don't know if it will work on oil stains though.

    Bread/baking soda is fantastic for removing stains from clothing.

    It's about €2 for a bag which will last ages.

    Wet the stains with luke warm water, then gently massage in a small amount of the soda onto the stains and let sit for about two minutes and then rinse the soda out of the garment. Once the soda has been rinsed put the top into a wash and put in about a pinch (not a teaspoon, literally a pinch) of the soda with the washing powder and put the wash on as normal.

    It's great for getting tan, make up stains etc. out of clothes so it will hopefully do the same with red wine.

    There is also ace bleach which you just spray onto the stains and put into the washing machine straight away. If you use ace bleach DO NOT leave it sitting on the clothes for any more than three or four minutes before washing in the machine otherwise it will stain but if you wash the garment straight after applying the bleach it won't stain but will remove the stains you sprayed with it.

    Ace bleach is a few euros and again will last you ages.
