  Future dark matter detectors plan to have sensitivities such that solar
neutrinos will start to become a problematic background. In this work we show
that a polarised helium-3 detector would in principle be able to eliminate 98%
of these events when the orientation of the polarisation axis is antiparallel
to the direction of the Sun. We comment on the possible improvement in
sensitivity of dark matter direct detection experiments due to this effect and
the feasibility of building such a detector.
