Towels - again!
Towels - again!
Just had some cream-coloured towels wrecked by suntan lotion/skin treatment. I cannot get the stains out.
So I have to buy replacements...do coloured towels get stained by suntan/skin treatments?
Thanks for your advice as always!

I lost 5 towels from one family 2 weeks ago, so I feel your pain.
I know what it is as, after we were all suffering the same 'stains' on LMH (years ago), I boldly asked a guest what caused it....he told me it was acne cream (peroxide I think)
It is usually young adults.
The thing that gets me is that they don't only ruin one towel.....why don't they stop after seeing what they've done?! Especially as I leave a lot of old towels for ad-hoc use.
I charge....as I feel there's no excuse for that sort of damage. It must have happened with coloured towels before so why not say or use avoidance tactics?
I showed the family the damage (to ruin 5 towels all one after the other left me speechless) and they had no choice but to accept. The girlfriend of the son owned up.

My (coloured) towels have been the victim of the acne cream too. A bath towel and two hand towels ruined.
Mother confessed at the clean linen delivery on their middle Saturday and she too was stunned her daughter hadn't stopped when she realised. Mother also said "it happens all the time at home."
I charged them. No argument.

Thank you Hells Bells. I thought I'd never heard of face cream that bleached towels though now you mention it I think I may have read about it ages ago during my explorations of L M H.Hells Bells wrote:It is safe, it is a licensed medicinal product. It has been used for acne for many years.
We get mostly older couples though so less cases of acne I suppose.
Thanks COYS - yes, as I thought - they have had it ... new ones on order now..COYS wrote:No chance I'm afraid. My daughter was prescribed the same thing last year. A steroidal cream containing peroxide. Grim stuff for anything but spots. Flannels, pillowcases etc, clothing all wrecked by it at home. Your towels have had it
Thanks you everyone for your input!
