Removing Yellow Armpit Stains from Shirts

Description: Readers' tips for removing stubborn underam stains from shirts.

Tip #1: Use some palm olive on the stain and let sit for a while. My grandma used to put white vinegar in with the laundry and it used to work.

Tip #2: I've found that the only way to really remove underarm stains caused by using deoderant, is to dissolve the built up deoderant first, using something like Goo Gone. Squirt some on, let it sit for a bit and scrub. (You might need to squirt on some more). Then wash, using a little more detergent than usual. Check the underarm area before you dry the clothes, you may need to use a bleach (regular, oxygen or even just vinegar, depending on fabric type) to remove the rest of the discoloration, but the results are much more satisfactory than just attacking the stain, without removing the deoderant residue first. Good luck!...Amelia

Tip #3: This was awesome! I just saved three shirts from going in the garbage! Thanks!...Alexis
