You know, the yellow arm pit stains that nearly all guy's t-shirts seem to get after a while. I'm in the process of ruining some great shirts with yellowness. How the hell do you get the out. Bleach sometimes doesn't work, especially on the set in ones. Is it something to do with the deodarant?

well if bleach doesn't get it then I don't know what would.

Try a new anti-persperant?

when bleach doesnt work you have to buy another one. Black and white clothing are like that. There's nothing you can do when the black fades or the yellow pits really set in.

Umm... you stop the stains before they start by not drying them in the dryer. Problem solved.

Whenever I get them, I just bleach my shirts. For yours? Since you said one bleach didn't work, I would try another.

that will actually help some; heat causes stains to set and turn yellow.

take them to a drycleaner, if the stain isnt *too* bad he may be able to get them out, but its hard; worth a shot though.

i rarely have any getting such stains out at work (<----- drycleaner), but most people bring it right about the time the stain causes the fabric to rot if you look at it wrong so its a bit late for them. bring it early and it may be fixable
