Sun block stains

My DH gets yellow stains on the edges of his white tennis shirt sleeves and socks from sun block. The stains don't show until after he has washed the shirt. Aside from putting sun block on before he puts his clothes on, is there any way to prevent by pre-treating or to treat the stains once they have become visible? The pure cotton socks clean up with Oxy-Clean, but not the cotton/poly blend shirts. Thanks.

Use Rust Remover. There are different brands out there. Try to get one that is specifically for laundry, and follow the directions. Good Luck!

Try Dawn soap, rub a little on the stain and add water. Let it sit for 30 minutes and rinse off.
