How do you get yellow stains out of the armpits of white t-shirts.?

Answer 1

I hate that.

Just buy new shirts. They're cheap and all the effort and time needed to get rid of the stains just isn't worth it.

Answer 2

I just had some success with this. I poured strait bleach on the armpit stains, them some laundry soap.No water at all. I scrubbed the heck out of it with a nail brush, Then I turned it inside out and repeated. When I finished with that I rolled the whole shirt up in a ball and let is sit for a couple of hours. Then washed it in bleach and laundry soap, and the stains were gone. I know it was harsh, but I couldn't wear the shirt in the condition it was in, so why not? And it worked!
