Question:I have loads of shirts etc that are new but look really horrible because of the stains under the arms from deodorant. Any idea of the best way to get them really clean.
Answers:
No detergent will remove perspiration stains here is some ideas to help you remove them
Unset old stains
Older, set-in stains will often come out in the wash after being pretreated with a solution of 3 tablespoons white vinegar and 2 tablespoons liquid detergent in 1 quart (1 liter) warm water. Rub the solution into the stain, then blot it dry before washing.
Pretreat perspiration stains
Want to see those sweat marks disappear from shirts and other garments? Just pour a bit of vinegar directly onto the stain, and rub it into the fabric before placing the item in the wash. You can also remove deodorant stains from your washable shirts and blouses by gently rubbing the spot with undiluted vinegar before laundering.
Good Luck !
Get some Greased Lighting from Wal-mart and spray some on that area and let soak for about 30 minutes before you wash them. That should do the trick. This will also remove grease or oil from your clothes if you get any on them.
Soaking (the offending area) with white vinegar before washing. You may have to do it several times.
Hello Sharon. This is the way I get rid of these marks. First soak in cold water, remove the shirt/shirts & add the good old fashioned soap bar, soap. (Natural soap). Rub the soap on, keeping the shirt free from the water , say 1/2 hr. this lets the soap do it´s work. Then back to the cold water, give a rub to the stains & add more soap. This time leaving the soap on, pop into your machine on a 40ºc normal wash. Hang your shirts outside in the sun. The sun will do the rest of the work for you, by bleaching out any remaining stains , the natural way. If your shirt´s and T-shirts are colored ones, turn them inside out , when hanging them outside in the sun. this way the the colors won´t fade with the heat of the sun
This really works: soak your shirts overnight in a solution of water with dishwasher detergent and then launder as usual and your shirts will be stain free!

Presoak with a stain remover and use Tide with Bleach. Good luck!
I use a liquid washing cleaner because it starts to work on the clothes straightaway. No waiting for it to dissolve in the wash and no powder marks. Also put it into the drum and not down the powder draw, this way ALL the liquid gets into the drum to clean. You'd be surprised how much stays in the tube from the draw causing blockages.
When I do a wash I always put some old fashioned washing soda into the drum as well. A cup full is enough. It dissolves any fat/grease/sweat stains.
Buy it in Wilkinson's for 55p a bag.
The liquid I use is Formil from Lidl. It is on offer at the moment for £1.99, a saving of a £1. It comes in a 3 litre bottle, enough for 30 washes.
It cleans as good as Ariel/Persil etc. If you have sensitive skin, avoid Daz, made me itch like hell.
I use pink vanish spray . Spray on let it soak in for a while then just wash a normal it may take a couple of goes but it does work. I spray them eveytime i wash now so they never come back and your clothes stay looking good.
