Thanks Kyreniagirl

No - I can't get it around here but I could order some on-line...do you think it's too late though?

The towels have been soaked in Vanish quite a few times overnight and washed in the washing machine a few times too..

Towels - again!

Just had some cream-coloured towels wrecked by suntan lotion/skin treatment. I cannot get the stains out.

Thanks for your advice as always!
