How to remove deodorant/anti-perspirant stains?

All my shirts are black and they all seem to have white deodorant/anti-perspirant stains on the pits. I've tried rubbing some oxy clean on them and soaking them in woolite for 24 hours. That didn't work at all. Any suggestions?





Remember: These are BLACK shirts that can fade really easily! And please don't suggest that I buy new shirts because not all of us have the money to do so.

Try soaking and gently scrubbing your stained clothes in a mixture of vinegar and water. (a one to one ratio is usually sufficient) Using vinegar is an old trick my grandmother uses, and I am always surprised at what vinegar will remove from clothing. Good Luck!!!

Yellow underarm shirt stains are likely caused by a combination of deodorant and perspiration. Many deodorants and antiperspirants contain aluminum salts. When these salts are combined with laundry detergent, especially in cooler water settings, they are not easily dissolved, and they remain on the fabric.





To remove the stains, try soaking the shirts in warm water with an enzyme pre-soak product or rubbing the soiled area with white vinegar. Wash in the hottest water safe for the fabric. If the stain remains, dampen and sprinkle stain with meat tenderizer. Let stand for about an hour, and launder again.





To avoid new stains from forming, always wash the shirts in the hottest water safe for the fabric. Also, allow antiperspirant to dry completely before dressing....Good Luck!!/.:)
