Still, what is done is done. As for sunblock, gets on my whites as well, and I have no idea how to remove it - napisan sometimes works, and sometimes dygon shifts it. Underarm stains, soak for hours and hours in napisan. Doesn't always works, and they soon come back once the garment has got to that old stage.Sarah Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17566072246120028926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1809800447778175614.post-46534208646276364332016-05-02T16:10:55.152+10:002016-05-02T16:10:55.152+10:00I don't know either, but as I've documente...I don't know either, but as I've documented all this, I realise how much of it I have so it must have been a thing!Summer Flieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17092393256871735567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1809800447778175614.post-24815911072998140232016-05-02T16:10:06.353+10:002016-05-02T16:10:06.353+10:00Thanks for the tips with the napisan...

Yes, easier to explain the knee.. not sure I can pull off the pants... short of showing them this post.. LOL! Oh for yellowing underarm I have heard bicarb and vinegar.

So pretty! But I went to clean my glasses lenses on it and the thread scratched the lense and I was so mad!!!<br /><br />Lol re airport security. I've been through it with metal hair clips and the detector hasn't gone off. But my mother with her artificial knee always sets it off and she explains and they swipe the detector over her and then let her on her merry way. Although an artificial knee on a grey-haired lady is a lot easier to explain than metal threads in fabric :-D<br /><br />Napisan or the cheapy woolworths equivalent is what I use for sunscreen, it does the trick. <br />If you know how to get deoderant yellowing of armpit fabric I'd love to know that!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1809800447778175614.post-62867455319146640202016-05-02T13:17:07.238+10:002016-05-02T13:17:07.238+10:00I am now wondering why there is metal in the fabri...I am now wondering why there is metal in the fabric. What a pity about the sunscreen. Unfortunately if Napisan doesn't help, I'm fairly lost.kbencohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00885068563358776147noreply@blogger.com
