Default How do I remove yellow sun spots from my Shirts?

My store location is outdoors in the sun and after awhile a lot of shirts that have not sold get stained yellow from the sun. Some get very yellow and I was wondering if anyone knew how we can remove these staing.

The yellow is only where the sun shines on the t-shirts. The white ones become yellow and my black shirts fade to a more white color.

Will bleach work. How about any other chemicals? Someone even mentioned WD40?

You can't fool with Mother Nature...
UV is the culprit, so you need to find some a UV filtering window film and keep it from getting into the store.

Maybe there is some kind of spray treatment you can apply to the shirts that does the same thing kinda like the scotchguard spray for stains??

There is a product called Scorch Remover made by Texmar that I use in silkcreening. You just spray it on the garment and put it under the flash dryer or you can even use a warm iron. It says on the bottle that it can be used for sun staining. Tekmar's phone # 1-800-564-1096.
