How do you get old, brown pit stains out of t-shirts?

Question

I remember once reading something about making a paste out of oxyclean? Does anyone have a recipe to do this? I need something that will WORK - to get pit stains out of my husbands t-shirts.

Answer 1

baking soda and cold water and let it sit

Answer 2

I'm not sure! sorry...just wash it really well

Answer 3

I tried that once a while ago and it didn't work for me.  I've heard that if you put a bunch of aspirin in a bowl of warm water and let the stained area sit in it, the pit stains will come out.  Denture cleaning tabs may work, too.

Answer 4

T-shirts sell for $2.00 apiece.  Buy five, and turn the old ones into rags.
