You can buy 2 boxes of OxyClean for the same price, or a 5-10lb bag of sodium percarbonate (active ingredient) online. This is also the stuff that takes the orange sunscreen stains out of clothing.

Thank you for that info! Being a pale skin Ginger who loves the sun, I have many ruined t-shirts and board shorts from sunscreen!

Its the avobenzone reacting with rust in hard water (like a sponge). Bar Keepers Friend (oxalic acid) made into a paste and then washed with whites also works well for the stains.

For mildew I use white vinegar or benzoyl peroxide and sunlight.

I use simple green but add some bleach to it. Follow up with protectant for the stitching.

thanks for all the input! I think I'll try the "awesome" stuff first. I'll post back what I find.
