Yellowed sleeves...?

Question

How do you remove or prevent the yellow staining in the armpit area of white blouses or sleeveless tops? I don't usually sweat, but my tops still stain and bleach doesn't get it out. I guess the stains are caused from my deodorant?

Answer 1

1. switch deoderant

2. use bluing.  it is sold at grocery stores, pharmacies etc.  it is bright blue, but really gets stains out of white clothes.  it doesn't leave a smell.  as an added bonus you can make salt crystals out of it as a fun side project for the kids.

Answer 2

Use a mixture of powdered colorsafe bleach and amonia and rub it in with a toothbrush. Let set five minutes and wash.

Answer 3

I use secret deoderant and always get stains from it, just get some spray and wash. Leave it on for about 5 minutes then wash the shirts in the hottest water possible. Works great.
