Deodorant and Perspiration Stain Removal
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!..=)

Soak your shirt in cold water, use good old fashioned soap . You know it´s brown in color & you can buy this in your hardware store. Also great for white clothes. Remove your shirt from the water give a good rub with the soap, Leaving the soap on & free from water,say 1/2 hr, this will let the soap do it´s work. back to cold water give more soap, then rinse. Hang outside ,and the sun will do the rest of the work , by bleaching any remaining stains out, the natural way. Just 1 thing, as your shirt has a picture on it , turn the shirt inside out, this way it won´t get damage by the heat of the sun

Neither of these will damage your pix!
To keep the stains from setting in as you wash your shirts add one cup of Hydrogen Peroxide to a load of light or white shirts and wash as normal.
For items already yellowing mix a quarter cup of Cascade in a bucket of hot, hot water soak the garments in the mixture to whiten whites.
Hint: Try not to over dry white and light colored items. Use a lower temperature setting as the higher settings can yellow whites. Also, some liquid fabric softeners can cause yellowing in white fabrics if not rinsed out well.
Have a great day!

Shampoo. Saturate the area and then launder as usual. Don't put in the dryer until you are certain the stain is out. Dryers set stains. If the stain remains use an enzyme type stain remover extra strong so it's more a paste.:

Turn them insideout and and wash in your whites load. Be sure to put them in the machine last so they aren't directly in the bleach water. Also try pre-treating them with some dawn dish soap.
