Some idiot put my cycling kit through the wash with a 3/4 full tube of factor 50 sunscreen in the back pocket.... 🙄
I now have clean and probably UV resistant kit but only in blobby areas where the oil has stuck to the fabric, which is annoyingly visible on both top and bibs... all over....
The tube and lid came out separately, spotlessly clean and totally empty...
The top is white but washing instructions say 30C max, the bibs normally go in on a 40C wash (as does everything I wash...)Â Google talks about vinegar and baking powder.... not necessarily at the same time..
Am assuming that the washing machine will survive, might chuck some towels through before washing anything important.
Any magic solutions?

TIA

What sun cream, what was on the ingredient list?
Throw in a pair of new red underpants, pink kit is all the fashionÂ
Thanks all, Mrs Davy90 has apparently done a wash since (no visible marks to laundry...) so at least I appear not of wrecked the machine..
@peekay very good 😀
Soaking sunblock-marked clothing in undiluted dishwasher rinse aid and then washing on normal wash has been great at getting rid of sunblock stains and blotches...80% of the time. The other 20% it makes things worse or doesnt change anything at all.
I'd try rubbing some isopropyl alcohol on the stains and then washing it with a good chug of white vinegar in the machine
