The deodorant/antiperspirant build up, which also causes yellow armpit stains, is 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 and build up of antiperspirant, try soaking the shirts in warm water with an enzyme pre-soak product. 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 then launder again. To avoid new stains from forming, always wash the shirts in the hottest water safe for the fabric. To prevent these stains, allow your antiperspirant to dry completely before dressing. Wearing a cotton undershirt under polyester shirts will help absorb perspiration.=)

Give it a good rubbing with vanish oxy action, leave it on for a short period then put it in a hot enough wash suitable for the garment. In future have a spray bottle an put vodka in it an the next time you were a white top (or any colour) give it a spray under the arms when you take it of it will stop sweat from staining an wash as normal.

soak in cold water then rub in good old fashioned soap, You can find this in most hardware stores. Leave your garment free from water and leave the soap on for at least 1/2 hr. Next give a rinse , rub in more soap and pop straight into your washing machine on a 30ºc or 40ºc normal wash cycle. Once done hang your garment outside in the sun , the sun the sun will bleach out any remaining stains the natural way . Might take a few turns doing this , just depends on how bad the stains are . But it will come out

perspiration stains really get to you. Hears what you do. Take a basin or bucket or in your washing machine. Add 2 cups of white vinegar and put enough water for a small wash, then agitate a little and shut it down. Let the shirts soak overnight and then run them through the cycle . Now give then a good wash with your detergent that should do it.

Sometime you can't if the stain is old. If they are recent, use spray "shout" heavy duty, very hot water, tide and 1/2 cup bleach to the load.
