OK, once and for all. How can I remove white perspiration stains from a black polyester shirt?

Question

I tried using Shout Ultra and when I took my shirt out of the dryer the stains were actually WORSE! So, now they are "set in". Is there anything I can do?

Answer 1

White vinegar will take the stains out. But you have to  _soak_  the area for a while. Like 2-3 hours. Seriously.

Turn the shirt inside out. Pour 1/2 an inch of vinegar into a bowl and put the pits only into it. Let soak. Then wash the pits (by hand) with hot water and a small amount of soap (I use dish soap). The soap won't bubble at first, but be aggressive, and keep washing and rinsing until it does. Rinse thoroughly, then machine wash. Check the results before machine drying, and repeat if needed.

I can all but guarantee this will work.

P.S.: I do this on t-shirts and stuff, but I wouldn't try this on anything delicate. Polyester and cotton, yes. Silk, linen or wool, no.

Answer 2

~~Put white vinegar in a spray bottle, then spray the stains till saturated. Let it sit on the stains 15 to 60 minutes depending on the  build-up. Then launder s usual. Stains will be gone and shirt will be fresh and clean!
