How can I remove sticky Deodorant build up from under the arms on my polo shirts.Washing wont remove it.?

Answer 1

Never had that experience and I use a heavy duty antiperspirant not just deodorant.
Perhaps you can try pouring the detergant directly onto the stained area before washing the garment and increase the water temperature.
If that doesn't work, try the product called "Goo Be Gone" (available at supermarkets).

Answer 2

Ha ! Good question. I ended up going as far as trying turpentine to get it off my tops ! I found nothing did it so threw them out and changed from using an anti-perspirant to a deodorant (Lynx) and have had no problems since. Will be interesting to see if anyone else knows of a cleaning agent.

Answer 3

A lot depends on the quality of the deodorant in the first place, but I wear white shirts for work and soaking in Napisan overnight before washing seems to shift most things.
Give it a try one one shirt first just in case it soaks the coulour out.

Answer 4

a chum of mine used to apply brown paper and a warm iron and it worked. Get the iron somewhat warm and positioned brown absorbent paper over the stain and carry the iron on it, and it would want to take in the staining. be careful no longer to burn it regardless of the reality that! by technique of brown paper I advise the type that absorbs grease, ie the luggage you may get tarts in and so on..the vivid brown paper used for parcel wrapping would not artwork besides.

Answer 5

If you are sure it is from your deodorant you should switch brands. Most deodorants are stainless and greaseless.

Answer 6

Try using neat vinegar and soak it for a few hours them wash as usual

Answer 7

oh maybe chuck it out and buy new deodorant and a new top

Answer 8

Boil them. Straight water, no detergent, and boil.
