What causes and how do you get rid of arm pit stains on white shirts?

Answer 1

Soak in Oxyclean and water at least over night - lots of oxyclean, and as long as you reasonably can soak. May have to do it twice. Worked on my husband's shirts. Wear antiperspirant or consider getting 'shields' - little absorbent pads ladies used to use in their silk blouses, I think they still make them.

Answer 2

I sweat plenty and fantastically much all deodorants made the arm pits seem yellow and stained i began utilising degree deodorant and the scent is long gone as are the stains,As for procuring the yellow stains out soak each and every of the products with detergent and slightly of bleach for a hour or so; and the stains could desire to disappear. don;t soak it longer than an hour; and don;t use plenty bleach....reliable success,.

Answer 3

sweat turns yellow. earwax comes from sweat. that's why it's yellow. that's why the arm pit stains are yellowish. deodorant only makes it worse by leaving a residue, making it hard to remove by regular washing. i gave up years ago, and now only wear dark colors, t-shirts and dress shirts. wearing a t-shirt to absorb the sweat and deodorant can help save your dress shirts. i also quit wearing deodorant that is white in color, now i only use the clear ones. it still leaves a residue, but it's less noticeable.

Answer 4

Sweat causes the stains, and if they are white you can bleach them♥

Answer 5

sweating causes the stains. i dont think they go away fully, they might go away a little if you wash it 2-3 times

Answer 6

I think it is the deodorant or anti-perspirant that is making the stains, not the sweat.

Answer 7

heavy sweating causes the yellow stains. if you rub some vinegar on your armpits BEFORE you put on your deoderant that will help you!!

Answer 8

believe it or not....put Vodka in a spray bottle and spritz the armpits really good, let it soak for 5 min, and then wash it!
