My DH is the same, he can wear a striped polo shirt and always gets something on the white bit.

Actually. I tuck a small towel round my neck before I put make-up on, regardles sof the colour of my clothes.

Sorry I meant , do your make-up before you get your nice white t-shirt on….

but I would then get make-up all over the shirt putting it on, no mater how careful I was.

I’m another one who can totally relate to this. Sometimes feel I need head to toe overalls!

Husband always wears a new white T-shirt and drips tomato sauce on it. He doesn’t allow me to do a hot wash resulting in no stain removal. He feel hot wash will shrink it.

Try soaking it in cold water and bleach, for quite a while, then wash as normal.
This method has worked really well on my white trainer socks!

Bleach down the loo ? Do it in your PJs , before you go to bed
Same with make-up
No suggestion for nail polish remover 😂

Why when I wear a white tee shirt do I always get sun screen or make up round the neck, however careful I am. When I put bleach down the loo why does it only splash when I have black trousers on? I opened a bottle of nail varnish remover earlier and lost half the contents trying to put some on a cotton wool pad. I had pulled off the little cap with the hole in it along with the screw top.
