White Shirt-Yellow Armpits?

[RIGorous1]

didn't take much notice before;however today my boss was waving another worker down and under his pits (aside from the sweat) was a cloud of yellow... then later on the aid at walmart had yellow pits as he was moving a desk of the shelf.

What causes yellow pits? deodorant or sweat? Can you wash it out or get rid of it with bleech?

Not deoderant, but rather antiperspirant. 😉

I wear white undershirts a lot and after a while they get yellow armpits. It's pretty hard to get rid of. Usually by that time they're worn out enough that I just buy new ones anyway.

So what should people do just use deordorant without antiperspirant? What ingredient in antiperspirant causes that?

His mommy didn't wash his shirts properly.

Heavy nicotine users sweat a yellow sludge out.

Oxyclean(I think that's the name) does a great job getting them out.

Oh yea Oxy Clean is that famous "clean out anything" cleanser.... has anyone else tried it on yellow pits to testify that it works?

oxyclean is just oxygen based bleach, same as clorox2 or Biz.

dont think it's anything special. or revolutionary. or anything.

Your whole body, inside and out is a breeding ground for bacteria. It's perfectly natural, and much of it is beneficial.

antiperspirant. Someone told me that it was just the antiperspirant gel, but i think it's all of them. stick, gel, etc

Bleach is your only ally.

Bleach is your only ally.

Or . . . not using antiperspirant.

I had to use drysol. After using a bottle of that, I never had yellow-stained undershirts again.
