How do you get rid of deodorant stains on dark shirts?

Question

I have several shirts that are various shades of grey or black that have pink/orange pit stains. I think it was from my deodorant b/c it hasn't happened since I switched. But how do I get rid of stains that are already there?

I tried using shout stain remover, but I just ended up with white streaks on the shirts (shout will work on other stains on these shirts, just not the deodorant ones). Any suggestions? I really like these shirts and I'd prefer to not have to replace them.

Answer 1

I had the same problem.  I soaked the pits with liquid detergent overnight and then washed normally.  The deodorant stains (mine were orangish) faded considerably.  I repeated the whole process 2 more times until the stains were gone.

Sorry, but you may not be able to get the stains out at all. You might try switching to a different product. Because the ALUMINUM in your deodorant/antiperspirant is what's causing the stains.
