how do you get those brown/yellow armpit stains off your shirts?

Those pit stains are inversely proportional to your weight.

I didn't have a problem with stains like that until my mid 20's. I considered what habits I had changed and the obvious answer was the switch to an anti-perspirant from a simple deodorant which caused these stains.

Time to switch deodorant and get away from ones that have zinc in em.

Buy new undershirts and switch deodorant.


I use Old Spice Endurance - no zinc = no problem.

You're wrong....


Aluminum zirconium tetrachlorohydrex gly, a common antiperspirant, is a cause of "armpit stains" on clothing, reacting with sweat to create yellow stains.[/quote]

Won't work. The OP would just have white deodorant stains instead.

If soaking them in Oxyclean or similar has no effect, then you're getting new shirts. Wear a tight fitting tee or underarmor type shirt to keep the stains out in the future.

Be careful with the bleach though, each wash with bleach will weaken the fabric until it disintegrates in the wash.
