Deoderant Stains on a nice brown Lacoste polo.?

Question

Hello, I have noticed deoderants stains in the armpit area of my lacoste polo. It turned the fabric a light oraneg color and its a brown shirt. I rubbed stain stuff on it and washed it to no avail. I am tempted to return it to the store for the same shirt, btu is there anything I can do to get the stain out?

Take two aspirins ... crush them and mix with a half cup of hot water. Pour directly on the stain and allow it to sit for a couple of hours.

Baking soda ... add enough water to 1/4 cup of baking soda to form a runny paste. Apply directly to the stain and work it in. If the stain is particularly bad and smelly, let the baking soda paste remain on the garment for a couple of hours then brush it off. Baking soda is very good for removing odors!

Meat tenderizer ... another one for Ripley’s Believe It Or Not! Moisten the perspiration stain with warm water then sprinkle liberally with meat tenderizer. Work it is and allow it to sit for several minutes, then launder as usual.

Salt ... regular table or pickling salt is a miraculous ingredient in many things, including household cleaners. Use salted water to soak stained garments; mix with white vinegar for a very good stain remover.

White vinegar ... mix a cup of white vinegar with 4 cups warm water. Dip stained garment in vinegar solution and scrub between your knuckles. If the stain is persistent, you may soak the entire garment in the vinegar solution for a couple of hours before running through a normal wash cycle. Check the fabric label to be sure it does not need to be dry cleaned!

Oxi-Clean ... this is a wonderful product for eliminating many clothing stains. Follow manufacturers directions.

Borax ... this is an old-time cleaning remedy that is still appropriate today - plus its a whole lot cheaper than some of the costly products on the supermarket shelves.  Run warm water through the stain then sprinkle on a generous amount of Borax - don’t go crazy, but use enough so that you can see it like a good shake of salt on the stain. Rub it together with your fingers and then launder as usual

BUT FIRST TEST A SMALL AREA - and make sure these don't bleach the area - or change the color fof your shirt
