Orange Sunscreen Stains

I did a little research on the stains that were ruining the kids clothes. Apparently, the zinc oxide found in sunscreen is a form of iron. If it is mixed with sweat, or more iron which is found in well water, it attaches to the fibers of the clothing. Hence, the orange stains that are destroying our clothes. One woman suggested using a bathroom cleaner specifically created to remove rust. She recommended The Works Tub and Toilet Cleaner. I am willing to try anything, so I am going to buy it the next time I am at the grocery store. I will let you know how it works.
